Reflections from the pastoral ministry of an Evangelical Catholic Priest.
Where is the Lazarus in each one of us. The weak and the vulnerable one that has been hidden away from ourselves and others. Has he been buried deep within …a place where the stench of death is frightening and revolting ? Do we go about our lives avoiding and denying that the tomb of the dead Lazarus is here and now within? Are we afraid that we cannot be loved if anyone finds out or even gets a whiff of the stench?
ReplyDeleteJesus asks to open the tomb. He is not afraid of death. He shudders with deep sorrow that in our relentless craving for human glory , we burry the one He loves the most. There is no ‘free’ will until Lazarus has been risen.
