THE GOSPEL

John 11:1-45

They said to him, “Sir, come and see.”

And
Jesus wept.

He
had
cried
“Lazarus,
come out of there!”

Lazarus did.

“Death, now where
is your sting?”

Christ
weep
 with us,
 and for us,

trapped
in burial cloths
with our hands tied,
when we are trafficked,
seized at borders,
homeless.

Your passion
says,

“Untie them.
Let them go free.”


THE FIRST READING

Ezekiel 37:12-14

I will put my spirit in you that you may live.
I have promised, and I will do it, says the Lord.

O Christ,
open up our graves.
Breathe Spirit into our dry bones.

You promised  

that
we will come
to life in
you.


THE SECOND READING

Romans 8:8-11

You are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you.

Spirit of God,

what would it have been without you?
Days without sunlight,
kites with no
 wind.

Shine on our flesh and breathe in our souls.

Be the beginning and ending
of all that we are
and do.

Humbly
we
ask 
that you 
give your life 
to our weary, mortal 

souls.
