Ezekiel 37:21-28; Canticle from Jeremiah 31:10-13; John 11:45-56

I will walk with the suffering Jesus.

We are about to enter Holy Week. The prophet Ezekiel recalls God’s words for us: “I will bring my people together, I will make them one people, my people.” God’s intention is clear. Yet, the Gospel reminds us of the hatching of plans to kill Jesus. And so we are prepared, it seems, for the worst! Yet, we know the outcome. Let us ask Jesus to prepare us for his resurrection by walking beside him, this week.
