22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”Ģ3 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”Ģ4 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”Ģ5 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. 20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.Ģ1 “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 18 Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem, 19 and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother. But let us go to him.”ġ6 Then Thomas (also known as Didymus) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”ġ7 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. 10 It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.”ġ1 After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”ġ2 His disciples replied, “Lord if he sleeps, he will get better.” 13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.ġ4 So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, 15 and for your sake, I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. 6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, 7 and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”Ĩ “But Rabbi,” they said, “a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you, and yet you are going back?”ĩ Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 2 (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”Ĥ When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. Reading – Listening: John 11:1-45 – The Death of Lazarusġ1 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. May your resurrection be my hope when I yearn in the Easter atmosphere and when I yearn for the day that I will see You face to face in glory. Lord Jesus Christ, you redeemed us with your blood and brought us back to life with the Father in heaven. We come to a situation where we can only be quiet in human terms when we cannot see hope. Then I ask God for this prayer, in my own words or with those that are here: I ask for the grace of the Holy Spirit to open the word of God, I accept it and allow it to fulfill my mission in me, in order to become more and more what I am in Holy Trinity. I calm down and I feel the presence of God in me.
