“A L I V E A N D A C T I V E ”The Year of Saint Matthew

5th Sunday of Lent02.04.17.

(Sunday Readings: of year A : Breviary: Week i)

THIS SUNDAY’S MASSScripture Ezekiel 37: 12 – 14.

Psalm 129.

R/. With the Lord there is mercy and fullness of redemption.

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord,Lord, hear my voice! O let your ears be attentiveto the voice of my pleading.

If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt,Lord, who would survive?But with you is found forgiveness:for this we revere you.

My soul is waiting for the Lord,I count on his word.My soul is longing for the Lord / more than watchman for daybreak.(Let the watchman count on daybreak /

and Israel on the Lord.)

Because with the Lord there is mercyand fullness of redemption,Israel indeed he will redeemfrom all its iniquity.

Romans 8: 8 – 11.John 11: 1 – 45.

When a woman decided to improve her computer skills, she threw herself into the task with enthusiasm, borrowing two or three instructional books from the library each week.

After about a month, the librarian commented : ‘Wow! You must be getting really knowledgeable about this stuff.”‘Thanks. What makes you say that?’‘Well,’ said the librarian, ‘only one of the books you’re taking out this week has “For Dummies” in the title.’
