The Raising of Lazarus, by Rembrandt, 1630-1632
Jesus works miracles
for His dearest friends
only after He has
tested their faith.
He let Lazarus die,
even though Martha and Mary
sent word that he was sick.
But after the trial, what rewards!
Lazarus rises from the dead.
St. Thérèse of Lisieux
As Lent is the time for greater love, listen to Jesus’ thirst…’Repent and believe’ Jesus tells us. What are we to repent? Our indifference, our hardness of heart. What are we to believe? Jesus thirsts even now, in your heart and in the poor – He knows your weakness. He wants only your love, wants only the chance to love you.
St. Teresa of Calcutta
