John Collect We thank you, heavenly Father, that you have delivered us from the power of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of your Son: we pray that as by his death he has recalled us to life, so by his presence abiding in us he may raise us to joys eternal; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. A reading from Ezekiel The hand of the Lord came upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me all round them; there were very many lying in the valley, and they were very dry. 3 He said to me, Mortal, can these bones live? I answered, O Lord God, you

4 know. 4 Then he said to me, Prophesy to these bones, and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. 6 I will lay sinews on you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the Lord. 7 So I prophesied as I had been commanded; and as I prophesied, suddenly there was a noise, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8 I looked, and there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them; but there was no breath in them. 9 Then he said to me, Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, mortal, and say to the breath: Thus says the Lord God : Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 10 I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood on their feet, a vast multitude. 11 Then he said to me, Mortal, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are cut off completely. 12 Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God : I am going to open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people; and I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people. 14 I will put my spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you on your own soil; then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken and will act, says the Lord. For the word of the Lord Thanks be to God Psalm Out of the depths have I called to you O Lord: Lord hear my voice; 2 O let your ears con sider well: the voice. of my supplication. 3 If you Lord should note what we do wrong: who then O Lord could stand? 4 But there is for giveness.with you: so that you shall be feared. 5 I wait for the Lord * my soul waits for him:

5 and in his word. is my hope. 6 My soul looks. for the Lord: more than watchmen for the morning more I say than watchmen for the morning. 7 O Israel trust in the Lord for with the Lord. there is mercy: and with him is ample.re demption. 8 He will redeem Israel: from the multi-tude of his sins. A reading from Romans To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For this reason the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God s law indeed it cannot, 8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you. For the word of the Lord Thanks be to God Gospel Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory I am the resurrection and the life, says the Lord; whoever believes in me, even if they die, will never die. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory The Lord be with you and also with you. Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John

6 1 Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.. 45 Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.
