This is a picture of the story of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. (John 11) And today, we celebrated Lazarus being freed. We, are a group in prison ministry. We follow Bethanian spirituality, which is the spirit of Father Jean-Joseph Lataste, OP. The Prioresses from the Dominican Sisters of Bethany came over to celebrate, Sister Sara Bohmer, OP and Sister Pia Elisabeth, OP. Of course we celebrated Father Lataste's beatification, last year. We saw most of these same people, at the beatification of Pere Lataste, the Apostle of Prisons.
The story is being re-enacted here. See there's someone seated and wrapped in a white sheet, representing a shroud. Jesus will free him from death. Just like we work and pray to free all those in bondages of all kinds: drugs, alcohol, anger, etc.
