MARCH 17, 2013 . FIFTH SUDAY OF LET

The Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem is often filled

with incense that wafts through the archways and corridors as worship-pers pray in one of the most sacred places for Christians. Burned in sa-cred rites through the centuries, the dried, hardened sap of the Boswel-lia trees that grow on the Arabian Peninsula forms the base of most reli-gious incense blends today. Mixed with myrrh and other fragrances, thesame sap was used in the preparation of bodies for burial in an attemptto mask the stench of decomposition.

Martha's warning to Jesus in today's Gospel about the state ofLazarus' body is a reminder of our very mortality. After he commandsthe onlookers to take away the stone from the tomb, Martha tells Jesus,"Lord, by now there will be a stench; he has been dead for four days."With our modern funerals, embalming practices, and sealed caskets,Martha's rather blunt expression of the eventual disposition of our hu-man remains seems like a shocker. About the only remnant we retain ofwhat would cover a rather messy end is the abundance of flowers thatsurround a casket. What was once a need because of their scent, isnow just a pleasant addition to a mournful situation.

The death of Lazarus is a reminder of our own eventual passing. Like him, we will not be in this worldforever. Our death is just as real. And while our human remains may not necessarily corrupt as quickly asthose of Lazarus, we will still turn to dust. At least our physical selves will. But we are much more than that.Just like we can see incense, so we can see one another physically. But there is more to incense than thesmoke we see. There is also the sweet smell, that unseen fragrance that rises toward the heavens. And sodo we. More than our physical selves, our souls rise with Christ to the heavenly realm.
