Gathered from Exile: From Scattered Bones to United Body | Daily Readings | April 12, 2025 | Saturday of the Fifth Week of Lent

Today’s Scripture reflections for Saturday of the Fifth Week of Lent:First Reading (Ezekiel 37:21-28): God promises to gather His scattered people, making them one nation under one Shepherd, bringing peace and restoring the covenant forever.Responsorial Psalm (Jeremiah 31:10, 11-12abcd, 13): The Lord will guard His flock; He ransoms and rejoices over His people.Gospel (John 11:45-56): After raising Lazarus, Jesus becomes the focus of the leaders' plots, revealing that His death would gather the scattered children of God into one.Through these readings, we are invited to trust in God's ability to gather what has been divided, to see Christ’s coming sacrifice as the healing of our brokenness, and to prepare our hearts for the unity and restoration offered through Holy Week.A ministry of Christus Dominus Bread of Life.Produced in collaboration with Christus Dominus Studios.
