“Here we can experience first hand that God is life and gives life, yet takes on the tragedy of death.

Jesus could have avoided the death of his friend Lazarus, but he wanted to share in our suffering for the death of people dear to us, and above all, he wished to demonstrate God’s dominion over death.

In this Gospel passage we see that the faith of man and the omnipotence of God, of God’s love, seek each other and finally meet. It is like a two lane street: the faith of man and the omnipotence of God’s love seek each other and finally meet.

We see this in the cry of Martha and Mary, and of all of us with them: 'If you had been here!' And God’s answer is not a speech, no, God’s answer to the problem of death is Jesus: 'I am the resurrection and the life'... have faith.

Amid grief, continue to have faith, even when it seems that death has won. Take away the stone from your heart! Let the Word of God restore life where there is death.”
- Pope Francis
