5th Sunday of Lent, March 22, 2026

John 11:  And when he had said this, He cried out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”  The dead man came out, tied hand and foot with burial bands, and his face was wrapped in a cloth.

To be a friend I must commit to confidentiality, be devoted to honesty and be ready to settle down in the midst of hell with my friend, prepared to stay there til the sun comes up again.
