Fifth Sunday in Lent (Cycle A)

Resurrection of Lazarus by Juan de Flandes, around 1500In the Gospel reading from St. John's Gospel (11:1-45), we hear the account of our Lord's raising of Lazarus from the dead. Similar to last Sunday's Gospel reading of the man born blind being given sight, Lazarus represents all of us. We are dead in sin until the Lord raises us to life. The reading also anticipates the Lord's salvific act of His death and resurrection.
Readings:

Ezekiel 37:12-14
Psalm 130:1-8
Romans 8:8-11
John 11:1-45

Here are a few commentaries on these readings:
