THE GOSPEL: John 11.1-45
'I am the resurrection and the life.’
Both Martha and Mary, for all their difference in response to Jesus, open with the same words of greeting (or faith, or reproach?). Behind this sentence lies a deep-felt sense that the presence of Jesus and the reality of death are incompatible with each other. Can we journey to Good Friday, and through our own encounters with mortality, with such certitude?
