| Summary: | The author reflects on the Biblical passages from the books of John 11:1-45 and Romans 8:6-11 which offer the story of the raising of Lazarus. He notes that the simple statement that Jesus said to Martha to take away the stone from the grave of his dead brother symbolizes the task that Christians are called to during the Lenten season. He asserts that to follow the commandment of Christ to roll away the stone is a call to change those patterns and habits in life that are contrary to the Gospel of Christ. |
