4/16/2011 - Saturday of Lazarus

Saints and Feasts:
Lazarus Saturday
Agape, Chionia, & Irene, the Holy Martyrs

Epistle:
Hebrews 12:28-29;13:1-8

Gospel: John 11:1-45

To ponder and meditate on: Before your passion, you raised Lazarus from the dead. Giving us an assurance of the common resurrection O Christ our God. Therefore like the children we offer symbols of victory, as we cry to you, the conqueror of death. Hosannah in the highest, blessed are you who comes, in the name of the Lord (Apolitkion of the Saturday of Lazarus).

Challenge: The forty days are over . . . you made it this far. The Church enters a two-day period before the Passion – Saturday of Lazarus and Palm Sunday. Enjoy the day in the presence of the Life-giving Lord.
