Description

In this homily for the 5th Sunday of Lent, Fr. Michael reflects on the powerful moment when Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. He asks us the essential question: What is real? Is our day-to-day life more real than the God who made it? Is death final? Or is the life of Christ more real—even than death itself? In this final scrutiny Gospel, we are led to renew our trust in Jesus, the Resurrection and the Life. Fr. Michael walks us through Martha’s confession of faith, Mary’s grief, and Christ’s tears, showing how even our suffering is not hidden from God. The invitation is simple: to believe again, and to follow the One who raises the dead.
