FIFTH SUNDAY OF LENT A

Ezekiel 37: 12-14 God’s spirit can make even the dead rise from their graves. Romans 8:8-11 We have given the Spirit of Christ, who was raised to life, so that we too might be filled with that same life and act righteously. John 11: 1-45 The raising of Lazarus is a sign that the Lord’s power is greater even than death. However, it is not only physical death that Jesus has come to destroy, He has come to set us free all that kills the life of God within people. Discussion Question: What has died within me that needs to be revived? Commento: L’attteggiamento dell’uomo davanti alla morte oscilla tra questi due estemi di compostezza e di disperazione. Il lezionario odierno è una piccola catechesi cristiana sulla morte come comunione col Cristo risorto. -G. Ravasi Comentario del domingo "La resurrección de Lázaro, que la liturgia nos presenta al final de la Cuaresma, nos dispone de manera admirable a celebrar el acto céntrico y fundamental de nuestra fe: la resurrección de Cristo.” - A von Rechnitz González Comentario Del domingo: “Si se quiere alcanzar el fruto de vida eterna, hay que disponerse a gastar la propia vida a favor de los que amamos.” El equipo de LTP.

NOTICE FROM THE ARCHDIOCESE Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York, urged the faithful to remember in Their prayers all those whose lives have been impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. “Let us pray for all who are sick, as well as doctors, nurses, caregivers, and all those Working hard to combat the disease. We should

also remember those whose lives Have been otherwise disrupted, especially anyone who has lost income from a loss of work during this difficult time.” 1. Churches will remain open for prayer.

2. Experts advise people to be spaced three to six feet away from one another in the church.

3. The obligation to keep the Lord ’s Day holy can be fulfilled by maintaining a prayerful attitude and through personal and family prayer. 4. Mass will be celebrated in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and will be available on Many cable systems via the Catholic Faith Network and its website at www.catholicfaithnetwork.org, livestreamed on the St. Patrick’s Cathedral website at www.saintpatrickscathedral.org/live, and broadcast on radio on The Catholic Channel of Sirius XM (Channel 129). OLMC has a live stream on our Facebook page on Saturday evening at 6:30 in English and 7:30 in Spanish.

Sin embargo, la Iglesia de OLMC permanecerá abierta a la oración privada. Sábado 3:30-6:00pm & Domingo 7:00am- 2:00pm. Lunes a Sábado por la mañana de 6:30 a las 10:00am (con El Santísimo) El cardenal Timothy Dolan, arzobispo de Nueva York, instó a los fieles a recordar en sus oraciones a todos aquellos cuyas vidas se han visto afectadas por el brote de coronavirus. “Oremos por todos los que están enfermos, así como por los médicos, enfermeras, cuidadores y todos aquellos que trabajan arduamente para combatir la enfermedad. También debemos recordar a aquellos cuyas vidas han sido interrumpidas de otra manera, especialmente a cualquiera que haya perdido ingresos por la pérdida de trabajo durante este momento difícil”. Se celebrará una misa privada en la Catedral de San Patricio, y estará disponible en muchos sistemas de cable a través de la Red de Fe Católica y su sitio web , transmitida en vivo en el sitio web de la Catedral de San Patricio , y transmitida por radio en el Canal Católico de Sirio XM ( Canal 129).
