(Romans 8:8-11)
Gospel — Lazarus, dead for four days, came out of his tomb when

COME OUT OF YOUR GRAVES!!
Jesus rejoices with those who gladly believe in Him,
deep down, as the resurrection and the life.
• One of the most consoling prophecies in the Hebrew
Testament is Ezekiel’s vision of dry bones. God opens
the graves of the unfaithful Israelites and breathes
His merciful spirit into them. “And you shall live,”
God promises. (Ezekiel 37, 12-14)
Date
Activities
Place
• Folk-rock singer Mark Heard caught the spirit of this
life-giving vision when he sang of the “miraculous
circumstance / Where the blind ones see and the dry
bones dance.”
• Jesus surely rejoices with those who “Come out!” of
their graves of fear and doubt, who dance with hope
despite their difficulties, and who believe in Him, deep
down, as their resurrection and their life.

Fifth Sunday of Lent
Out of the depths I cry to you, o Lord;
Lord, hear my voice!
— Psalm 130:1
Sunday’s Message
John 11: 1 - 45
Jesus cried out in a loud voice,
“Lazarus, come out”. The dead
man came out, tied hand and
foot with burial bands, and his
face wrapped in a cloth. “Untie
him and let him go.”
Resurrection is an attitude, a
perspective that finds hope in
the hardest times and uncovers
life among the devastated and
broken, that reveals light in the
darkest night. To each one of us
belongs the work of resurrecttion: to bring the life and love
of God into the most everyday
situations.
COME FORTH!!
Of all our human limitations and weaknesses,
the most important, most sorrowful and final
is death. Many aspects of it frighten us: a
terminal illness, an unexpected demise, like an
interrupted melody we have only begun to enjoy,
Pastor’s Notes
the fear of an unknown world from which no
one has ever returned. In the Gospel of John, 11:1-45, we find that
Lazarus, brother of Martha and Mary, is brought back to life by
the powerful command of Christ: "Lazarus, come forth!"
Lazarus, who had been dead 4 days, emerges from his tomb and
begins a new life: he breathes, speaks, and enjoys living with a
greater intensity and gratitude. This miracle of Christ has many
applications for us. Jesus, as God, is a God of the living, not of
the dead. For Him we are all "the living", or better said, called to
live fully. God does not wish the death of anyone. The best
manifestation of the glory and the will of God is "a human being
fully alive".
Therefore, the great significance of the resurrection of Lazarus is
not only that he returns to life for a few more years, but that Christ
tells us "whoever believes in Me, although he be dead, will live and
There are so many people who
whoever is alive and believes in Me will not die forever." Jesus

LAZARO, SAL FUERA
Estamos ante un momento culminante: es la
hora de la gloria de Dios y de su Enviado.
Todos los días dormimos y no hablamos de
estar muertos. Jesús nos dice que nunca
estaremos muertos. Lo dice el Enviado de Dios,
y su palabra es absoluta:
“Si tienes fe, verás la gloria de Dios”
“Si crees en mi, vivirás para siempre”
“Sal de tu sepulcro, ¡Sal fuera, Lázaro!”
VIVE EN PAZ
VIACRUCIS
Es una forma de recordar con
amor y agradecimiento lo
mucho que Jesús sufrió por
nosotros para salvarnos del
pecado.
Durante
la
Cuaresma
tenemos un Viacrucis en Español, los viernes
a las 5:00 P.M. en la iglesia. Todos están
invitados.
¡LEVANTATE Y ANDA!!
Del salón en el ángulo oscuro
de su dueña tal vez olvidada,
silenciosa y cubierta de polvo
veíase el arpa.
¡Cuanta nota dormía en sus cuerdas
como el pájaro duerme en las ramas
esperando la mano de nieve
que sabe arrancarlas!
¡Ay! pensé ¡cuantas veces el genio
así duerme en el fondo del alma,
y una voz, como Lázaro, espera
que le diga: “¡Levántate y anda!”
Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836-1870)
Rima VII
No mires al futuro agobiado de qué pasará
mañana.
El mismo Padre bueno que cuidó hoy de ti,
también cuidará de ti mañana y cada día.
Puede que él te proteja del dolor o que te dé
suficiente fortaleza para sobrellevarlo.
Por tanto, vive en paz, alejando de tí toda
ansiedad o cualquier otra tonta imaginación.
San Francisco de Sales
