The Gospel for Sunday declares that “Jesus loved Martha and Mary her sister and their brother Lazarus,” who lived in Bethany. This is a golden statement. It tells us so much about Jesus and his personal friendships. But it also emphasizes how very odd it was that, while Lazarus was sick unto death, Jesus camped out a fairly short distance from Bethany and would not go to heal or even see his friend. Urgent messages arrived. An easy journey. But no. His reason? “This illness is not to end in death,” he says. How wrong he was! Lazarus’ illness led directly to death! When Lazarus had finally died, Jesus at last did go down to Bethany. Lazarus had been in the tom b for four days. Martha ran to Jesus, and finally, she secretly went back for Mary who was so grieved she could not leave the house. Both went back and cried out to their friend, Jesus, “If you had been here, my brother would not have died!” Jesus saw Mary’s tears and those of the friends who had gathered, and we are privileged to a touching revelation of Jesus’ love. We hear the striking words that are recorded only one other time in the Gospels: His tears make Mary and Martha’s question even more poignant. “You love us, and you loved him; why did you not come and cure him while there was still time?” I think many of us ask God such a question when a loved one dies. Jesus asked it from the cross: “God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Pretend that you are asking this last question directly to Jesus right now. Listen to whatever answer comes. Take your time. If what you hear is fruitful, stay with it. 2 Saint Anne Church • March 22, 2015 • stannebarrington.org For my part, I hear Jesus saying this: Friend, I know that life, love and death are hard for you to face. I will reveal to you in the flesh what they mean but, of course, even my example can be ambiguous to you. Not only life but even sorrow and even death are given by God’s gentle love. All three are like flowers pushing up from the earth. The ground from which they grow is God’s tender love. Human kindness gets its being from God’s love. Even life gets its life from God’s love. Even death gets its life from God’s love. At this point, you and I, startled, interrupt and say, But how can death receive life? Death is the end of life. What are you talking about? Jesus replies that there are many beautiful plants and trees, figuratively, that come forth from God’s love. Life is surely one of them, he says. But death is, too, and suffering. Let me demonstrate, he says. He calls out in a loud voice, calls into the soil of God-love where Lazarus’ soul is buried. From this womb of love, Lazarus’s death gestates into life. Up from the tomb he comes. Jesus continues: You think of love as something you can have because you are alive. But the opposite is true. Life is something you can have because you are rooted in love. Death does not erase love; it brings you more deeply back to it, to the place you came from—love’s rich loam. Pray about it, Jesus says, because that is the reason I delayed coming to Bethany.

Please join the participants in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) for the celebration of the greatest feast of our Church year, Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday, April 4th, at 7:30 p.m. For the Elect and the Candidates, this will be the culmination of more than a year of learning through the RCIA about the word of God, the teachings of the Church, the community, prayer and apostolic works of service for others. The Bishop at Holy Name Cathedral personally recognized their spiritual preparation at a formal service on Sunday, February 15th. The Elect are now ready to receive the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist), and the Candidates are now ready to be received into full Communion with the Catholic Church. For the Saint Anne Community, it has been a wonderful opportunity to journey with them, opening ourselves to experiencing Lent at its fullest, growing in our faith and deepening our conversion. We look forward with anticipation to the beautiful Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday during which we join the Elect and the Candidates in renewing our commitment in faith to the service of the Risen Lord. The service is a moving experience that we all will long remember and cherish. There will be a reception in honor of our new Catholics immediately following Mass in the cafeteria on the lower level of the Church. We ask that yo u bring a d ish to share, and jo in us at this recep tio n fo r our new Catholics! “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13) VOLUNTEER USHERS AND GREETERS ARE NEEDED Give the gift of your time To volunteer for a Mass choice listed below or any services during Holy Week, sign up on the form posted on the bulletin board in the ushers’ room adjacent to the Gathering Space or contact John Jirschele (to be an usher) at 847.612.2729 or aviaate@comcast.net or Darrell Medley (to be a greeter) at 847.726.8842.

On Tuesday, March 10th, 75 alums came together for a reunion. The evening included small group sharing, large group sharing from the recent Kairos 34 alums and a closing prayer service. In the service, a Rosary was recited and a light was lit for every Hail Mary and Our Father said. It was a beautiful experience to be in the presence of juniors and seniors praying in such a reverent and meaningful manner in our candle-lit gym. God is alive and well in the hearts of our Saint Anne youth community.

These young people came as ambassadors of their homeland and their rich Latin culture and customs. They came representing their generation—energetic, enthusiastic and full of hopes and dreams for their future. They showed us the face of resilience in the face of poverty, corruption, brutality and chronic upheaval. They spoke tenderly of their “NPH family” and how this wonderful organization has given them love, faith and hope, how they have educated them and taught them the meaning of responsibility and hard work. Now it’s our turn! To date, we have collected $13,563.00. We know of a number of families who have agreed to sponsor a child with a monthly gift. Almsgiving envelopes will be collected in the box on the hearth through Holy Week and thereafter at the Parish Office. NPH envelopes can also be mailed directly to their office. PLEASE be as generous as you can. WELCOME, SPRING! This week, all RED TAG clothing is $1.00 and all Easter items are 50% off! House of Hope Resale Heirlooms & Treasures 200 N.

The raising of Lazarus is the climax of seven “signs” that John uses to promote the significance of Jesus’ wondrous deeds to reinvigorate faith in his own community two generations after Jesus’ death and resurrection; he interprets the signs by various reflections, narratives and discourses.1 The stories of the Good Shepherd (Chap. 10) and Lazarus share John’s theme of death and resurrection. The discourse in each teaches that Jesus has power over life and death through the Father; he says of his own life and death: I have p ow er to lay it d ow n and p ow er to tak e it up again (10:17-18). The sign in each makes concrete the story with real relationships with real people.2 Jesus is intimate with this family in which death occurs: see how he harbors deepest feelings for his sheep in a way only a good shepherd can. It is said three times in today’s story (3, 5, 36) that Jesus loves Lazarus! Look at the lavish, extravagant outpouring of love that John has Mary giving to Jesus in the opening of chap. 12. It is their home in Bethany where he usually stayed when visiting Jerusalem; it was from this place that he would go to his passion and death. (See Luke 10:38 for another description of the personalities of Martha and Mary and their relationship with Jesus.) Responding to the news of Lazarus’ condition, Jesus assures the women that it is not the Father’s intent that Lazarus should die but that from the happenstance of the death, God’s glory might be seen through his Son (v.4 and compare to man born blind at 9:3). Tension builds as Jesus deliberately delays going to Lazarus; while he waits, Lazarus dies. By delaying, Jesus actually lays down a life. But he does not avoid death; he confronts it in its finality to conquer it. The glory of which Jesus speaks is ultimately seen through death. In John, glory can be seen in the intimate connection of Jesus with and in his Father and in the other reality of his thorough and complete involvement in the lives of those whom he loves: these two women and the man in whose death Jesus completely identifies.3 16 Saint Anne 12 SaintChurch Anne Church • August • March 31, 2014 22,• 2015 stannebarrington.org • stannebarrington.org The disciples counsel against Jesus going back to Bethany because of the hostile Jews (v.8) but see important note below4 He responds enigmatically (vv.9-10). On one level, he is stating that he must carry out his ministry while he still can; his time is limited. On a deeper level, he is speaking of him self as the light! Those who walk with the light of Jesus’ revelation will be led through life without stumbling; those who choose not to walk with him will stumble. At 11-14, John uses another of his favorite literary devices, misunderstanding, to highlight a theological or spiritual point. Jesus tells the disciples that Lazarus has fallen asleep and that he must go to awake him. Sleep was a common euphemism for death but here the disciples misunderstand! Their confusion allows John to confirm Lazarus’ death and to show the purpose behind Jesus’ delay is to incite faith, i.e., solidarity with Jesus and his Father (v.15). The resurrection of Lazarus points to a specific spiritual truth that would not be communicated if Jesus simply healed Lazarus before he died. Jesus is not about the business of preventing death; he is about confronting and conquering it.5 At v.16, as elsewhere in John, the disciple Thomas always presents a call to faith: every believer must follow Jesus through death to life. When Jesus arrives, Lazarus has been in the tomb four days. Some rabbis taught that the soul remained at the gravesite for three days yearning for reunion. So any hope for his resuscitation has passed! Mary and Martha had faith in Jesus’ ability to heal but their hope had given way to regret. Both say that if only he had come earlier, their brother would not have died. In particular, Martha’s faith (solidarity with Jesus) allowed her to accept that all was not over. She knows that God will grant to Jesus his desires for Lazarus but that in any event, Lazarus will be raised on the last day. Amazingly, Jesus’ answer is more immediate. Speaking to her, (v.25) he says I AM (ego eimi) thereby identifying himself as one with the Father and making the claim to highest honor. (See Exodus 3:14, where God says that he is the I AM.) CONTINUED ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE Sharing the Living Story This saying affirms that Christ’s life-giving work affects our life on two levels in two time frames! In the future, Jesus will bring physical life again, but in the present, Jesus brings eternal life. The fact that he is the resurrection and life and does not merely off er resurrection and life shows that his saving work is integrated into his own very being, and those who believe in him are uniting with him, are in solidarity with him, in a word, they have faith. so connected as to be like a vine and its branches]. The physical miracle is told succinctly. Just as the sheep respond to the familiar voice of their shepherd, Lazarus responds to the call of Jesus—the Good Shepherd—and emerges from the tomb; he is released from the burial clothes at Jesus’ command to all. The Christ releases humankind from sin, from all that binds and oppresses, even the ultimate sin, death. Jesus himself is greatly moved (vv.33, 35, 38) by all who are mourning at the tomb. In v.33, becam e perturbed is a startling phrase in the Greek, literally, ʺHe snorted in spirit,ʺ perhaps in anger at the presence of evil (death).6 He is presumably as disturbed as the others by the pain and loss brought on by the destructive power of death. Jesus grieves with people in the face of death. [This is not one who is distant or unapproachable!] Many of the Jews came to belief because of what they had witnessed. Others went running to the Pharisees (v.46) and the plots to kill Jesus begin but see endnote 4! To the horror of all, he orders the stone removed. Jewish burial practice required several steps. The corpse, completely wrapped in linen, would be laid on a stone shelf in the tomb. A year later, the mourners would reenter the tomb, gather the bones and deposit them in urns that were placed in cavities in the wall. Several generations would thus share the tomb. At this point after four days, the body well into decay would be repulsive and entering the tomb would render one ritually impure. Nevertheless, Jesus reminds Martha of the promise of seeing God’s glory and they move the stone. Jesus prays to the Father for the sake of his audience. He is showing others that the Son works in union (communion) with the Father. [This intimacy is the glory of God which Jesus will explain again in chap. 13, 14 and 15 when he speaks of the love of the father and himself and his disciples as being as Chap. 11 (and 10) proclaims that Jesus is Lord over death. He voluntarily enters death’s grasp with the power to overcome its hold on those whom he loves. The dramatic foreshadowing of Jesus’ own death and resurrection makes this seventh sign a fitting climax to the “Book of Signs” (chap 1-12) for it shows that the saving, revealing work of Christ comes through his personal victory over death. V.1. Lazarus, Greek = God helps 7; Bethany, Hebrew, bet-anniyah =house of response/witness/testimony8 V.2 This is not described by John until 12:1-8. The scriptures for the Third Scrutiny are perhaps the most difficult of the three Sundays when the Church points us toward scrutinizing the way we live our lives in light of the understanding we may have at this moment about our solidarity with God. It is perhaps easier to respond like Martha and say that resurrection is future oriented (v.24). The Psalm refrain has it: With the Lord there is mercy and fullness of redemption. So What? We are about to enter Holy Week and its celebrations of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus. Dare we tell others—say, those in the RCIA community—about the times when we were able to say: “You know something … solidarity with the Jesus who gave signs like these … lets me come through the pain and chaos that have been part of my life.” New American Bible Revised Edition in The Catholic Study Bible 2nd Edition, edited by D.

Many of my comments are adapted from: Kevin Quast, Read ing the Go spel o f John. 3 John Shea, Go spel Fo o d fo r Hungry Peo ple: Lent, cycle A. 4 The Introduction to John (NABRE p.1487) notes the use of “the Jews” as part of “The polemic between synagogue and church produced bitter and harsh invective …” It is critical for Christians to understand that demonizing Jews has its root in Christian holy books. See also Quit Pick ing on the Pharisees, an article by Professor Amy-Jill Levine, Sojourners magazine p. 26, March 2015. Note also that in both Passion accounts during Holy Week, “the Jews” are blamed for complicity in the death of Jesus.
