Prayer
Loving Father, You are the source of life and hope.
In your Son, Jesus Christ,
you reveal that even in
the face of death, your love brings new life.
As we journey through this
Lenten season, help us to trust
in your power to renew us.
Strengthen our faith, that we
may believe more deeply in
your promises.
Amen
5th Sunday of Lent Year A
"I am the resurrection and the Life, says the Lord; he who believes in me shall never die."
In the Gospel from John 11, we hear the powerful story of the raising of Lazarus. When all hope seemed lost, Jesus declares: “I am the resurrection and the life.” This moment reminds us that God is present even in our darkest situations. There are times in our lives when we might feel overwhelmed, stuck, or without hope, as if something within us has “died”. Yet Christ stands before us and calls us to new life.
As we approach the end of Lent, we are invited to place our trust honestly in Jesus. He has the power to bring healing, renewal, and hope into every area of our lives. Let us listen for His voice and respond with faith, allowing Him to lead us from darkness into light.
