5th Sunday of Lent

March 21 & 22, 2015

Ezekiel 37:12-14 I will put my spirit

in you that you

may live

Psalm 130 “With the Lord

there is mercy and

fullness of

redemption.

Romans 8:8-11 The Spirit of the

One who raised

Jesus from the

dead dwells in you.

John 11:1-45 or 11:3-7 I am the resurrection

17, 20-27,33b-45 and the life.

Today’s Gospel is one of the most dramatic in the New. Testament.

Yet what Jesus does for Lazarus is what God wants to do for each

and every one of us. As we listen to these sacred scriptures today,

let us reflect on where we have been dead in our own lives, and

where we need to be unbound and raised up in God’s redeeming

grace.

Palm Sunday

March 28 & 29 2015

Isaiah 50:4-7

Psalm 22

Philippians 2:6-11

Mark 14:1-15:47 or 15:1-39

Stations of the Cross

Thank you to all the ministries who have signed up to

help lead us in prayer!

Pro-Life Reflections

Do you reject Satan? And all his empty promises? ~Sacramentary Renewal of Baptismal Promise

Reflection. Lent is a time to pray for the catechumens of

the Church who are preparing to be baptized at the Easter

Vigil. The rest of us will renew our Baptismal Promises.

In these vows, we reject the empty promises of the devil.

One of those empty promises is abortion.

Prayer. Thank you, Lord, for the power of baptism in my

life by which I am able to affirm life each day against the

power of death!

Jesus tells us today that we are to be a dying grain of wheat,

producing much good fruit. What does this mean for us today?

Not that we are supposed to become doormats, letting the

world walk allover us Nor does it mean we are to actively

seek out suffering, to “play the martyr” and tell everyone

around us about all the sacrifices we are making Not even

Jesus wanted to suffer!

Today’s Gospel provides an absolutely core message for us

about being Christians. Yet, this message is rarely discussed

in “polite circles.” The message? If we follow Jesus, we will

still suffer. (Anticlimactic, right? Think about it some more

and you’ll see it is actually pretty deep.) Following Jesus or

not, we are still goint to have heartache, pain, death.

That said, Holy Week and today’s Gospel also tells us this:

though we will suffer, God promises to transform. We will

grow, become. And God will also transform others through

our sufferings. Die and know that God brings forth new life,

through you.
