Fifth Sunday in Lent, Year A
Introduction
In today’s gospel Jesus reveals his power over death by raising Lazarus from the dead. The prophet Ezekiel prophesies God breathing new life into dry bones. To those in exile or living in the shadows of death, these stories proclaim God’s promise of resurrection. In baptism we die with Christ that we might also be raised with him to new life. At the Easter Vigil we will welcome the newly baptized as we remember God’s unfailing promise in our baptism.
- Ezekiel 37:1-14
The dry bones of Israel brought to life
- Psalm 130
I wait for you, O Lord; in your word is my hope. (Ps. 130:5)
- Romans 8:6-11
Life in the Spirit
- John 11:1-45
