Verse for Recollection
throughout the Day:
“And the
chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too,
/
because many
of the Jews were turning away /
and
believing in Jesus because of him.”
[John 12:10-11]
Reflection:
Having entered into Jerusalem
with Jesus, we recall the testimony about Jesus in Bethany, where Lazarus is a
sign that arouses the wrath of the Jews. Lazarus probably laughed at the
idea of being threatened by the Jews: he
had already experienced death, and been raised by Jesus. How could the Jews “touch” Jesus? They have no power over him. We, too, must be willing to testify to the power of Our Lord
over us. We cannot fear those who
threaten us in this world, for they have no power over us. They have power only over things that God has already commanded us to forsake.
Reflection Question:
Would I be willing to be raised from the dead, if it meant dedicating
the rest of my life to giving witness to the One who raised me from death?
