Epiphany Catholic Church & School

And what I think Jesus shows her very clearly is I am here. And where I am, you know, the the miraculous power of God is. You know? A moment takes place where Lazarus is risen from death resuscitated for a period of time. Obviously, Lazarus died again. He's in the kingdom of heaven, and, you know, his his life didn't go on forever. It was a a miracle that God provided to show the power of Christ and to show what happens when the presence and the power of God is in a moment and, you know, can be there over a situation. But Martha's response, I know, Lord, what you are the resurrection life. I know what you say and with your presence here that this is what will be. And she represents so many of the aspects of our hearts where and when we're grieving, it can be hard to let go, and it can be hard to let things be as they are right now in this moment and to let go of our loved ones. And and she can also represent to us a confidence of faith that I know my loved ones have gone on before me, where they are, and what they're enjoying in the gift of heaven. It can bring confidence to our own faith
