Jesus says Lazarus will rise, but Martha doesn’t believe it can happen now. She pushes it into a distant future time: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day” (John 11:24). Jesus asks if she believes he is the resurrection and the life. Martha responds generally: “I have come to believe that you are the Christ” (John 11:27). She can’t seem to make the jump from Messiah to resurrection. When Jesus asks Martha to open the tomb, she hesitates: “Lord, by now there will be a stench” (John 11:39). So Jesus nudges her forward: “Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?” (11:40). You can see it here and now, not just in some distant future. Martha needs to apply her faith. Will she allow her brother’s body to be brought out? You can almost feel the struggle as she grapples with this decision. Jesus isn’t afraid of the stench, but he waits for her to decide. Finally, Martha gives permission, and the tomb is opened. Jesus calls Lazarus forth, and Martha comes to believe. Every Sunday this Lent, Jesus has been leading us to take another step forward in faith. As he did with Martha, he brings us along gradually. Even if we waver, he waits for us to say yes to the next step. “Jesus, I remove the stone! Come, Lord, and bring me to life! ” from www.wau.org (The Word Among Us) So they took away the stone. (John 11:41)

D&P NEWS April 2, 2017 Raising Lazarus from the dead, Jesus shows us the promise of the eternal life that He brings to us. This story also shows how He completely enters into the pain and loss that Mary and Martha are feeling. This Solidarity Sunday, we would like to thank you for similarly standing in solidarity with your brothers and sisters around the world through your prayers, your voice and your generous gi�s. These are truly acts of mercy. “Mercy is the force that reawakens us to new life” (Pope Francis). We also remember Rigoberta Menchú, a friend of Development and Peace – Caritas Canada, who received the 1992 Nobel Peace Prize in recogni�on of her work defending the rights of Indigenous peoples. To learn more about this inspiring woman, visit www.devp.org/insp-women#rigoberta and for more informa�on on how Development and Peace engages the Catholic community in ac�ng in solidarity with all people, go to our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/devpeacetv .
