Christ will raise you up

At last weekend's mass, the Gospel was about Christ raising Lazarus from the dead.

Father shared about the steps we need to take to allow Christ to raise us up from our sufferings, which was what Christ did when He raised Lazarus.

Firstly, as Christ removed the stone from the cave, we too need to remove the obstacle that is in our way. Next, He called out to Lazarus. We need to call out to others for help. Lastly, Christ instructed the people to unbind the cloth wrapped around Lazarus. We too, need others around us, our community, to help and support us.

I pray that as we reflect on our sufferings, may the Lord guide us through these steps and raise us up from our afflictions.
