Friday 20th Week of Ordinary Time

 

I will bring you back from your graves Ez. 37:1-14

Israel was dead and gone.
The Temple was destroyed;
Jerusalem was razed to the ground;
And the people had all been carried off to Babylon.

They were as good as dead.
And Ezekiel told them
That God would breath His Spirit
Over their dead, dry bones and bring them back to life
And restore them to the Promised Land.

When we die;
The Temple of our body will be destroyed
And everything we have will be turned to dust and ashes
As we are carried off to our grave.

But God will breath His Spirit in us
And our dead, dry bones will come back to life
On the Last Day
And God will restore us to the Land He Promised our Fathers,
The Kingdom of Heaven.
