Episode Details

Fr Eamonn and Mary reflect on the Gospel for the Fifth Sunday of Lent: the raising of Lazarus (John 11). They explore what it means that Jesus deliberately delayed his response to Martha and Mary’s plea, and why “Jesus wept” ranks among the most powerful verses in all of Scripture. The conversation draws out the faith journeys of Martha and Mary, the nature of prayer when God seems slow to answer, and how Lazarus rising from the tomb prefigures not just the resurrection of Christ but our own call to rise from sin to new life. A rich meditation for the final stretch of Lent, gently challenging listeners to examine whether their own hearts are open or closed to the Lord’s response.
