Opening Prayer

The Liturgy of the Word First Reading Ephesians 4:1 – 7

Proclaimed by Isabella Ma

Brothers and sisters: When I feel afraid, think I’ve lost my way, still you’re there right beside me. And nothing will I fear as long as you are near. You are near me to the end. Refrain: Now I will not forget your love for me, and yet my heart forever is wandering. Jesus, be my guide, and hold me to your side. I will love you to the end. Refrain:

As a prisoner for the Lord, I beg you to live a way that is worthy of the people God has chosen to be his own. Always be humble and gentle. Patiently put up with each other and love each other. Try your best to let God’s Spirit keep your hearts united. Do this by living at peace. All of you are part of the same body. There is only one Spirit of God, just as you were given one hope when you were chosen to be God’s people. We have only one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. There is one God who is the Father of all people. Not only is God above all others, but He works by using all of us, and He lives in all of us. Christ has generously divided out his gifts to us. The Word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God.

Jesus told her, “Your brother will live again!” Martha answered, “I know that he will be raised to life on the last day, when all the dead are raised.” Jesus then said, “I am the one who raises the dead to life! Everyone who has faith in me will live, even if they die. And everyone who lives because of faith in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
