I continue to follow the situation in the Middle East with dismay. Like other regions of the world, it is torn apart by war and violence. We cannot remain silent in the face of the suffering of so many defenseless victims of these conflicts. What wounds them wounds all of humanity. The death and pain caused by these wars is a scandal for the entire human family and a cry that rises to God!

Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo, Bishop, pray for us!

Most Rev. Slawomir Szkredka, Auxiliary Bishop of @lacatholics, reflects on the Fifth Sunday of Lent and the raising of Lazarus. Bishop Szkredka highlights how Jesus, upon hearing that his beloved friend was ill, deliberately waited. Rather than healing, Jesus offers new life, pulling Lazarus from the tomb even at the cost of his own life. As we enter the final days of Lent, Bishop Szkredka reminds us that Jesus is never too late and that what he offers always exceeds what we thought to ask for.

Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, pray for us!
