Are You Called to Serve in the Ministry of Compassion? “God’s dwelling is with the human race...God will always be with them...he will wipe every tear from their eyes…” Revelaon 21. Did you know that you can be this comforng presence of God to those who grieve? Our parish Funeral Ministry is in need of kind and compassionate volunteers to welcome bereaved families on the day of the funeral and to support them with presence and assistance. You would be part of a team that serves once every 4 weeks. If you feel called to serve our parish family in this way, or wish to learn more about the ministry, please leave your contact informaon at the Church Office: 727-726-8477 for Sr. Paula.

The Third Scruny Jesus wept when he saw that his friend, Lazarus, had died. It was a human emoon that he shared with the sisters of Lazarus and the others gathered there.

But their grief turned to joy when Jesus called out to Lazarus and raised his friend from death into life.

The raising of Lazarus is the joy and hope of Easter that we as Catholic Chrisans prepare to celebrate. It is the essence of our faith.

We hear the story of Lazarus in today’s Gospel reading (John 11:1-45) as part of the third Scruny we will celebrate at the 10:15 a.m. Mass Sunday. The annual three-week Rite of Scruny helps us to lead and welcome the women, men and children in our RCIA formaon into full communion with the Church at the Easter Vigil. The scrunies are me for self-examinaon as they prepare for Easter.

On this fih Sunday of Lent, they will share with us the divine message of Jesus that death is not the final word. Instead, through faith in Jesus he will raise us to new life as his friends, just as he did for Lazarus. We are reminded that our faith in Jesus changes us and changes even the meaning of life and death.

And Jesus calls to us, encourages us and challenges us when he says to Martha, the distraught sister of Lazarus:

"I am the resurrecon and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
