Today’s Gospel (John11:1-45) on this Fifth Sunday of Lent is the account of Jesus resuscitating His friend Lazarus from death.
There are three words in the Gospel that are only found in this Gospel account of John. These three words are immensely powerful, insightful, and substantial. Three words that tell us so much about Jesus and His humanity and His love for us.
Jesus’ friend Mary said to Jesus about Lazarus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” When Jesus saw Mary weeping and the others who had come with her weeping, Jesus asked “Where have you laid him?” They said “Sir, come and see”. John’s Gospel account then gives us a look into Jesus that we sadly sometimes miss. John’s account tells us AND JESUS WEPT.
Jesus, fully human and fully Divine, wept! Oh, how He loves us!
As we proceed on our journey through Lent, let’s meditate, pray, and believe that Jesus loves us more than we could ever imagine. He always has. He does now. He always will. Thank You, Jesus!

Junior High Youth Group
What a GREAT TIME we all have whenever we gather a huge group of Junior High kids! Lots of kids from lots of schools for lots of reasons. There’s always plenty of faith, fun, food, and fellowship! Keep looking here and online at www.allsaints.cc for details of our April gathering. As always, all 7^th & 8^th grade parishioners from ALL schools are welcome. We look forward to our next gathering; hope you do too!

HOW (Highschoolers of the Well … it’s a really cool story)

We will gather HOW on Monday April 3 from 7:00 – 8:30pm in the All Saints’ Youth Room.
Spring Break schedules pushed us back a week, and we’ll certainly miss you, but an April 3 gathering enables us launch HOW into Holy Week with focus and reverence and resolve.
You may be wondering what you’re called to do during Lent to take a step forward with your faith. HOW may be exactly what you’re looking for. Come see if these 90 minutes work for you.  
HOW is friendly, faith-filled, and free. Give it a try. We’ll be waiting for you. HOW is the Holy Spirit working in you?!
