Reply To: Sunday April 3 – Taking The Stone Away; A Life-Giving Rhythm

[Susan Kenney]

The unknown unblinder. One year a group of four of us dramatized the  raising of Lazarus. We made a box that we could crawl into. When Jesus said, “Lazarus, come forth”, we crawled  out of the box. We were each holding onto a pillow. Then someone would come from the assembly, take the pillow and walk us down to a pew. The lesson:  Jesus could raise us but we needed someone to unbind us. I did it at all four Masses. The most powerful one for me was the noon Mass since I did not know the person who “ unbound” me. One never knows who might emerge to unbind  one from some constricting habit and thus enable one to rejoin the community.
