And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Rev. Joseph M. Benedict, Pastor -- Philippians 4:6-7 3 Readings for the 5th Sunday of Lent First Reading: Ezekiel 37:12-14 Thus says the Lord GOD: O my people, I will open your graves and have you rise from them, and bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and have you rise from them, O my people! I will put my spirit in you that you may live, and I will settle you upon your land; thus you shall know that I am the LORD. I have promised, and I will do it, says the LORD. Responsorial Psalm 130 With the Lord there is mercy and fullness of redemption. Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD; LORD, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to my voice in supplication. R. If you, O LORD, mark iniquities, LORD, who can stand? But with you is forgiveness, that you may be revered. R. I trust in the LORD; my soul trusts in his word. More than sentinels wait for the dawn, let Israel wait for the LORD. R. For with the LORD is kindness and with him is plenteous redemption; And he will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.R. 4 Second Reading: Romans 8:8-11 Brothers and sisters: Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive because of righteousness. If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit dwelling in you. Gospel Acclamation: Glory to you, O Word of God, Lord Jesus Christ. Gospel: John 11:1-45 Now a man was ill, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. Mary was the one who had anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and dried his feet with her hair; it was her brother Lazarus who was ill. So the sisters sent word to him saying, “Master, the one you love is ill.” Then Jesus heard this he said, “This illness is not to end in death, but is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” Now Jesus loved Martha and her sis- ter and Lazarus. So when he heard that he was ill, he remained for two days in the place where he was. Then after this he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.” The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you, and you want to go back there?” Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in a day? If one walks during the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin supported the president’s plan, stating, “A significant percentage of people in our congregations who are undocumented live in families with both U.S. citizenship and legal status. Protecting children from getting separated from their parents, and husbands from their wives, should be a sacred act and extension of our ministries. We applaud the president’s actions as consistent with the family values guiding our country.” Angie Reyes, a member of Holy Spirit Parish in Indianapolis, rejoiced during a watch party hosted by the Indianapolis As part of the entertainment at the Intercultural Ministry Awards Dinner on Nov. 15 at the Archbishop Edward T.
