Parish Mission Statement

Clergy Corner

Reflection of the Weekend of Mar. 21 & 22:

     Time and time again, we see examples of Jesus working miracles that demonstrate his identity as the longawaited

Messiah. This powerful passage cements Jesus’ divinity. Yet, at the same time, it confirms that Christ is also human. He loves Lazarus, Mary, and Martha. Jesus weeps for the loss of his friend and is deeply touched by the sorrow Mary and Martha feel at the death of their brother. He experiences these very human emotions because he is fully human.

     But he is also fully divine. He brings Lazarus back, from the death to life, from the darkness of the sealed tomb to the bright light of his family home and sisterly love. Christ’s deep love for this family reflects God’s love for us. It is personal. God is always present and wants to be part of our lives.

     Lazarus’ rising from the dead foreshadows Christ’s resurrection. Death has no power; Jesus will be with us

always. When he is born, he is called “Emmanuel,” or “God is with us.” When he visits the apostles the last time before ascending into heaven, he reminds them that he will be with them always, “even to the end of time” (Matthew 28:20). In times of darkness, we can be emissaries of this very real, very personal, love that Our

Lord has for us. By making a gift to the Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal, we can make his presence known to

those who need it most.
