THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
DearParentsandStaff
ThisweekendwecelebratethefiChSundayofLent.Thereadingtakenfrom the Gospel according to Johnrecounts the miracle of Jesus’ raising ofhis friend Lazarus from the dead. JesushadalreadyincurredtheireoftheJewishauthoriOes through his apparentdisobedience of their laws and hisdisciplesfearedforhissafety.Theraisingof Lazarus foreshadowed His ownResurrecOonandshowedHispoweroverdeath so that those who believe in Himmay take hope from this. Just as JesuscallsforthestonetoberolledawayfromLazarus' tomb, so too will the disciplesfindthestonerolledawayfromJesus'tomb.Inametaphoricalwayletuslookforstonesinourlivesthatseparateusfromothersandhinderusfromlivinglifetothefull.
