Fourth Sunday of Lent (A) Jesus cures the man blind from birth.

Fourth Sunday of Lent

Cycle “A”  With The Rite of Scrutinies

March 14 & 15

The Gospel this weekend is from Cycle “A” if you have individuals that are celebrating the Sacrament of Baptism on Holy Saturday with your RCIA people, and so are involved in the Rite of Scrutinies at Mass.  In this Gospel, Jesus cures the man who has been blind since birth.  The heart of the story may be when the man receives his sight and yet, it may be even more important when he confesses his faith as a result of his new found sight.  

Many have been inspired by the words the man spoke, “If he is a sinner, I do not know.  One thing I do know is that I was blind and now I see.”  We may ask ourselves, where have we felt blind in our lives?  Where have we experienced a sense of new life, a new chance to be the persons we have been called to be?  I would imagine that many will recall the gift of the Sacrament of Reconciliation in our lives.  How about you?
