First reading from the Book of Ezekiel
EZ 37:12-14

Thus says the Lord GOD:
O my people, I will open your graves
and have you rise from them,
and bring you back to the land of Israel.
Then you shall know that I am the LORD,
when I open your graves and have you rise from them,
O my people!
I will put my spirit in you that you may live,
and I will settle you upon your land;
thus you shall know that I am the LORD.
I have promised, and I will do it, says the LORD.

Second reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans
ROM 8:8-11

Brothers and sisters:
Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
But you are not in the flesh;
on the contrary, you are in the spirit,
if only the Spirit of God dwells in you.
Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
But if Christ is in you,
although the body is dead because of sin,
the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,
the one who raised Christ from the dead
will give life to your mortal bodies also,
through his Spirit dwelling in you.

From the Gospel according to John
Jn 11:3-7, 17, 20-27, 33b-45

The sisters of Lazarus sent word to Jesus, saying,
“Master, the one you love is ill.”
When Jesus heard this he said,
“This illness is not to end in death,
but is for the glory of God,
that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
So when he heard that he was ill,
he remained for two days in the place where he was.
Then after this he said to his disciples,
+Let us go back to Judea.”

When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus
had already been in the tomb for four days.
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming,
she went to meet him;
but Mary sat at home.
Martha said to Jesus,
“Lord, if you had been here,
my brother would not have died.
But even now I know that whatever you ask of God,
God will give you.”
Jesus said to her,
Your brother will rise.”
Martha said,
“I know he will rise,
in the resurrection on the last day.”
Jesus told her,
“I am the resurrection and the life;
whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live,
and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.
Do you believe this?”
She said to him, “Yes, Lord.
I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God,
the one who is coming into the world.”

He became perturbed and deeply troubled, and said,
“Where have you laid him?”
They said to him, “Sir, come and see.”
And Jesus wept.
So the Jews said, “See how he loved him.”
But some of them said,
“Could not the one who opened the eyes of the blind man
have done something so that this man would not have died?”

So Jesus, perturbed again, came to the tomb.
It was a cave, and a stone lay across it.
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.”
Martha, the dead man’s sister, said to him,
“Lord, by now there will be a stench;
he has been dead for four days.”
Jesus said to her,
“Did I not tell you that if you believe
you will see the glory of God?”
So they took away the stone.
And Jesus raised his eyes and said,
“Father, I thank you for hearing me.
I know that you always hear me;
but because of the crowd here I have said this,
that they may believe that you sent me.”
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.
So Jesus said to them,
“Untie him and let him go.”

Now many of the Jews who had come to Mary
and seen what he had done began to believe in him.

PREMIÈRE LECTURE

Lecture du livre du prophète Ézékiel
(Ez 37, 12-14)

Ainsi parle le Seigneur Dieu :
Je vais ouvrir vos tombeaux
et je vous en ferai remonter,
ô mon peuple,
et je vous ramènerai sur la terre d’Israël.
Vous saurez que Je suis le Seigneur,
quand j’ouvrirai vos tombeaux
et vous en ferai remonter,
ô mon peuple !
Je mettrai en vous mon esprit,
et vous vivrez ;
je vous donnerai le repos sur votre terre.
Alors vous saurez que Je suis le Seigneur :
j’ai parlé
et je le ferai
– oracle du Seigneur.

DEUXIÈME LECTURE

Lecture de la lettre de saint Paul Apôtre aux Romains
(Rm 8, 8-11)

Frères,
ceux qui sont sous l’emprise de la chair
ne peuvent pas plaire à Dieu.
Or, vous, vous n’êtes pas sous l’emprise de la chair,
mais sous celle de l’Esprit,
puisque l’Esprit de Dieu habite en vous.
Celui qui n’a pas l’Esprit du Christ ne lui appartient pas.
Mais si le Christ est en vous,
le corps, il est vrai, reste marqué par la mort à cause du péché,
mais l’Esprit vous fait vivre, puisque vous êtes devenus des justes.
Et si l’Esprit de celui qui a ressuscité Jésus d’entre les morts
habite en vous,
celui qui a ressuscité Jésus, le Christ, d’entre les morts
donnera aussi la vie à vos corps mortels
par son Esprit qui habite en vous.

Évangile de Jésus Christ selon saint Jean
(Jn 11, 3-7.17.20-27.33b-45)

En ce temps-là,
Marthe et Marie, les deux sœurs de Lazare,
envoyèrent dire à Jésus :
« Seigneur, celui que tu aimes est malade. »
En apprenant cela, Jésus dit :
« Cette maladie ne conduit pas à la mort,
elle est pour la gloire de Dieu,
afin que par elle le Fils de Dieu soit glorifié. »
Jésus aimait Marthe et sa sœur, ainsi que Lazare.
Quand il apprit que celui-ci était malade,
il demeura deux jours encore à l’endroit où il se trouvait.
Puis, après cela, il dit aux disciples :
« Revenons en Judée. »

À son arrivée,
Jésus trouva Lazare au tombeau depuis quatre jours déjà.
Lorsque Marthe apprit l’arrivée de Jésus,
elle partit à sa rencontre,
tandis que Marie restait assise à la maison.
Marthe dit à Jésus :
« Seigneur, si tu avais été ici,
mon frère ne serait pas mort.
Mais maintenant encore, je le sais,
tout ce que tu demanderas à Dieu, Dieu te l’accordera. »
Jésus lui dit :
« Ton frère ressuscitera. »
Marthe reprit :
« Je sais qu’il ressuscitera à la résurrection,
au dernier jour. »
Jésus lui dit :
« Moi, je suis la résurrection et la vie.
Celui qui croit en moi,
même s’il meurt, vivra ;
quiconque vit et croit en moi
ne mourra jamais.
Crois-tu cela ? »
Elle répondit :
« Oui, Seigneur, je le crois :
tu es le Christ, le Fils de Dieu,
tu es celui qui vient dans le monde. »
Jésus, en son esprit, fut saisi d’émotion, il fut bouleversé,
et il demanda :
« Où l’avez-vous déposé ? »
Ils lui répondirent :
« Seigneur, viens, et vois. »
Alors Jésus se mit à pleurer.
Les Juifs disaient :
« Voyez comme il l’aimait ! »
Mais certains d’entre eux dirent :
« Lui qui a ouvert les yeux de l’aveugle,
ne pouvait-il pas empêcher Lazare de mourir ? »
Jésus, repris par l’émotion,
arriva au tombeau.
C’était une grotte fermée par une pierre.
Jésus dit :
« Enlevez la pierre. »
Marthe, la sœur du défunt, lui dit :
« Seigneur, il sent déjà ;
c’est le quatrième jour qu’il est là. »
Alors Jésus dit à Marthe :
« Ne te l’ai-je pas dit ?
Si tu crois, tu verras la gloire de Dieu. »
On enleva donc la pierre.
Alors Jésus leva les yeux au ciel et dit :
« Père, je te rends grâce
parce que tu m’as exaucé.
Je le savais bien, moi, que tu m’exauces toujours ;
mais je le dis à cause de la foule qui m’entoure,
afin qu’ils croient que c’est toi qui m’as envoyé. »
Après cela, il cria d’une voix forte :
« Lazare, viens dehors ! »
Et le mort sortit,
les pieds et les mains liés par des bandelettes,
le visage enveloppé d’un suaire.
Jésus leur dit :
« Déliez-le, et laissez-le aller. »
Beaucoup de Juifs, qui étaient venus auprès de Marie
et avaient donc vu ce que Jésus avait fait,
crurent en lui.

Irmãos:
Os que vivem segundo a carne não podem agradar a Deus.
Vós não viveis segundo a carne,
mas segundo o Espírito,
se realmente o Espírito de Deus mora em vós.
Se alguém não tem o Espírito de Cristo,
não pertence a Cristo.
Se, porém, Cristo está em vós,
embora vosso corpo esteja ferido de morte
por causa do pecado,
vosso espírito está cheio de vida, graças à justiça.
E, se o Espírito daquele
que ressuscitou Jesus dentre os mortos mora em vós,
então aquele que ressuscitou Jesus Cristo dentre os
mortos vivificará também vossos corpos mortais
por meio do seu Espírito que mora em vós.

Proclamação do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo segundo João
11,3-7.17.20-27.33b-45

Naquele tempo:
As irmãs de Lázaro mandaram dizer a Jesus:
‘Senhor, aquele que amas está doente.’
Ouvindo isto, Jesus disse: ‘Esta doença não leva à
morte; ela serve para a glória de Deus,
para que o Filho de Deus seja glorificado por ela.’
Jesus era muito amigo de Marta,
de sua irmã Maria e de Lázaro.
Quando ouviu que este estava doente,
Jesus ficou ainda dois dias no lugar onde se encontrava.
Então, disse aos discípulos: ‘Vamos de novo à Judéia.’
Quando Jesus chegou,
encontrou Lázaro sepultado havia quatro dias.
Quando Marta soube que Jesus tinha chegado,
foi ao encontro dele. Maria ficou sentada em casa.
Então Marta disse a Jesus: ‘Senhor, se tivesses
estado aqui, meu irmão não teria morrido.
Mas mesmo assim, eu sei que
o que pedires a Deus, ele to concederá.’
Respondeu-lhe Jesus: ‘Teu irmão ressuscitará.’
Disse Marta: ‘Eu sei que ele ressuscitará
na ressurreição, no último dia.’
Então Jesus disse: ‘Eu sou a ressurreição e a vida.
Quem crê em mim, mesmo que morra, viverá.
E todo aquele que vive e crê em mim,
não morrerá jamais. Crês isto?’
Respondeu ela: ‘Sim, Senhor, eu creio firmemente
que tu és o Messias, o Filho de Deus,
que devia vir ao mundo.’
Jesus ficou profundamente comovido
e perguntou: ‘Onde o colocastes?’
Responderam: ‘Vem ver, Senhor.’
E Jesus chorou.
Então os judeus disseram: ‘Vede como ele o amava!’
Alguns deles, porém, diziam:
‘Este, que abriu os olhos ao cego, não podia também
ter feito com que Lázaro não morresse?’
De novo, Jesus ficou interiormente comovido.
Disse Jesus: ‘Tirai a pedra’!
Marta, a irmã do morto, interveio:
‘Senhor, já cheira mal. Está morto há quatro dias.’
Jesus lhe respondeu:
‘Não te disse que, se creres, verás a glória de Deus?’
Tiraram então a pedra.
Jesus levantou os olhos para o alto e disse:
‘Pai, eu te dou graças porque me ouviste.
Eu sei que sempre me escutas.
Mas digo isto por causa do povo que me rodeia,
para que creia que tu me enviaste.’
Tendo dito isso, exclamou com voz forte:
‘Lázaro, vem para fora!’
O morto saiu,
atado de mãos e pés com os lençóis mortuários
e o rosto coberto com um pano.
Então Jesus lhes disse:
‘Desatai-o e deixai-o caminhar!’
Então, muitos dos judeus que tinham ido à casa de Maria
e viram o que Jesus fizera, creram nele.
