Ecumenical Catholic Communion
Start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible
Give me justice, O God, and plead my cause against a nation that is faithless. From the deceitful and cunning rescue me, for you, O God, are my strength.
1st Reading 2nd Reading Gospel
Ezekiel 37:12-14 Romans 8:8-11 John 11:3-7
God’s power to bring life out of death and hope out of despair, as demonstrated in the raising of Lazarus from the dead.
Faith: The importance of faith in Jesus Christ, as exemplified by Martha’s confession that Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God.
Repentance: The call to repentance and conversion, as expressed in Paul’s letter to the Romans, and the need to live according to the Spirit and not the flesh.
Trust in God’s mercy: The promise of God’s mercy and forgiveness, as expressed in the Responsorial Psalm, and the need to trust in God’s loving kindness and plenteous redemption.
The Pascal Mystery: Through the raising of Lazarus from the dead, Jesus demonstrates his power over death and foreshadows his own resurrection. This event is a sign of hope for believers, as it points to the victory of life over death.
Grief and suffering: The gospel illustrate the reality of human suffering and the pain that comes with loss, as well as the compassion and empathy that Jesus shows towards those who are grieving.
