We need Martha’s faith amid the doubts and fears we might encounter in the face of tragedies, especially in the face of deathHere, we hear the words of Jesus to Lazarus’ sister Martha, words that give us comfort and hope: I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.A short time later, all were able to see the truth of Jesus’ words when, at His command, Lazarus came forth alive.
While the Gospel of the raising of Lazarus shows Jesus’ power over physical death, it also points to Jesus’ power over spiritual death.So the Lord, through His priests, unbinds sinners from the chains of sin, from spiritual death in the sacrament of Penance. We truly experience new life, a kind of second Baptism, through this sacrament of God’s mercy.Every man fears the death of the flesh, few the death of the soul.
As Jesus entered the village, Mary and the mourners surrounded Him. Their grief weighed heavily on His heart.His tears flowed not only for Lazarus but for all humanity’s suffering. It is a time for believers to deepen their faith, reflecting on the profound implications of Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection.
It offers comfort and hope to believers, affirming the promise of resurrection and eternal life in Christ.
