SUNDAY’S READINGS

First Reading: I will put my spirit in you that you may live, and I will settle

you upon your land; thus you shall know that I am the LORD.

I have promised, and I will do it, says the LORD. (Ez 37:14)

Psalm: With the Lord there is mercy and fullness of redemption. (Ps

130)

Second Reading:

If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells

in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life

to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit dwelling in you.

(Rom 8:11)

Gospel: Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever

believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who

lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you

are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the

world." (Jn 11:25-27)

LAZARUS

Lazarus is you and me. He died and was raised by Christ! In

our lives we die and die again in search of healing,

forgiveness, reconciliation, change and renewal. Today we are

not who we were ten years ago. Ten years from now we will

not be who we are today. Change is in the air. Change will

happen. The only question is, "Do I change my way or our

Lord's way"? That is the spiritual question we actually can

confront not only today but every day. Lazarus the old had

died and was already in the tomb for four days. But, Jesus

enters into his still life and He raises Lazarus from the power

of death. When our Lord extends His divine mercy, justice and

compassion and forgiveness on you or me, it is then, the

Divine brings healing, renewal and forgiveness. Go forth in

life, constantly fed by and renewed by Christ. Seek first the

Kingdom! Know our Lord is with you. And know and trust

that our Lord is with you even in the darkest of times. Then,

humbly give thanks to our God.

Remembering the Sick Please pray for: Guy Cooksey, Tim Boyd, Mary Grace

Lynch, Michael Hurst, Fred Behrens, Bob Thorne, Harry

Wheatley, Lexie, who is suffering from cancer, Bill

Finegan.

Note: If you wish to add someone to the sick list,

be relayed to the parish one week prior to the bulletin

being printed. Thank You.
