| First Reading | Ez 37:12-14 | The Lord promises to raise his people from the dead |
| Responsorial Psalm | Ps 129. R. v.7 |
(R.) With the Lord there is mercy and fullness of redemption. |
| Gospal Acclamation |
See Jn 11:25. 26 |
Glory and praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ! I am the resurrection and the life, says the Lord; whoever believes in me will not die for ever. Glory and praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ! |
| Gospel |
Jn 11:1-45 |
Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. |
Scriptual Context - Jesus wept
‘Jesus wept’ is the shortest verse in the New Testament. Just two little words carry a world of emotion and speak volumes about Jesus. Pope Leo I used this verse to highlight the two natures of Jesus, pointing out that in his humanity, Jesus wept for the death of his friend, but in his divinity Jesus raised Lazarus to life. Lazarus and his sisters were close friends of Jesus and Jesus is clearly emotional about the death and its effect on Martha and Mary. That Jesus is about to restore Lazarus to life does not deny the grief and mourning at Lazarus’ death.

Both groups experienced presentations about Judaism; its history, Ethical teachings, Marriage, and Sacred texts. Then the Yr 11s were fortunate to hear from Judy, a Holocaust survivor. It was a day filled with many new insights and learnings. We are grateful for the opportunity to visit and learn.
