5TH SUNDAY OF LENT
When Jesus heard about the illness of His friend, Lazarus, He responded, "This illness does not lead to death; rather it is for God's glory so that the Son of God may be glorified though it." Every aspect of our lives - our sufferings as well as our gifts - can, if surrendered to Christ, lead to blessings for ourselves
and for others. |
