Please include your address and phone number so that I can send you a reminder. If you have any questions, please call Barbara Runz at JESUS MINISTRY SUMMARIZED The story of the raising of Lazarus from the dead is the single longest story (apart from the Passion) in the Gospel of John. In it we find a summary of most of Jesus ministry. We see his very human nature as he is moved by Martha and Mary s sorrows and as he himself weeps at the tomb of Lazarus. He is the wisdom of God s Word made flesh as he explains to his followers that the death of Lazarus will serve as a sign of the glory of God. He crowns the miracles he works in John s Gospel (which began with the most human miracle of making new wine at Cana s wedding) by raising Lazarus from the dead a preview, if you will, of his own death and resurrection to come. This portrait of Jesus reminds us, as we near the end of our Lenten journey, that he is with us, knows us, understands us in every moment of our lives. He knows the joy of our human feasting, he knows the sorrow of our weeping. As we prepare to walk with him through the days of Holy Week, we are filled with faith that through Christ God s glory will be with us in every moment of our lives and with Christ in our life everlasting. ~Father George Added in January Paula Bobbie Natoli Kathleen S.
