Fifth Sunday of Lent

“When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.” Many of the Jews, therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.”
 
Let us Pray: Gracious God, we thank you for the witness of your Son, who speaks life into death and brings comfort to the sorrowing. Help us trust the words of Jesus: "I am the resurrection and the life." Enable us to walk in the light with one another, bearing one another’s burdens, and proclaiming that Easter dawn is coming. May our lives reflect the reality of your kingdom—where night gives way today, fear yields to faith, and death is overcome by the power of your glorious light. We ask this through our risen Lord, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Scripture:  John 11:44-45
