Fifth Sunday of Lent
Today the
Church prayers for the third and final Scrutiny throughout the world. We join the Elect from all over the world as
we look at our lives and scrutinize how we are living up to our calling from
God that came at the time of our Baptism.
As we focus on the Gospel this weekend, let us call on God to loosen the
bands that tie us to death from our faith and our love of God much as Jesus
raised Lazarus breaking him free of his burial bands. May that be our prayer, both for ourselves
and for all who are preparing for Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist this
Easter. -Deacon Jim
