From Death to Life - Are we ready?

from Novena Preaching @ Novena Church · host Novena Church

In this homily, Fr. Terence reflects on the Gospel of the raising of Lazarus (John 11:1-45) during this Fifth Week of the Lenten Novena - "Jesus leads us to true choices."Reflecting on the Lazarus story, he emphasizes two key insights. First, God sometimes seems to delay. In moments when hope fades and prayer feels dry, we are challenged to hold onto faith. As he notes, "the opposite of faith is not doubt...it is certainty." Secondly, like Martha, we struggle with a mix of faith, disappointment, and longing. Yet, it is in this very uncertainty that transformation is formed. Transformation is not only a future hope but a present invitation. When Jesus declares, "I am the resurrection and the life," it is an invitation to change now.The homily concludes with a powerful reflection: What in our lives is slowly dying and are we ready to surrender and be transformed by Christ today?Saturday Novena Devotion by Fr.
