My dear Parishioners and all Visitors,
In today's Gospel the blind man encounters Jesus who is the Light of the World It shows this man's journey from physical and spiritual darkness to the light of truth. On gaining his sight the man took some time to realize the wonder of his experience---he knew only that now he could see, not how the man Jesus had brought this about. He defended Jesus against the accusations of the unbelieving Pharisees and was abused, insulted and cast out of the temple which was the ultimate disgrace. It is only then that Jesus reveals Himself as the Son of God and the man in wonder worships Him.
We too can be spiritually blind, not unlike the Pharisees at times, but in our longing to know Jesus more we need to become conscious of our own blindness----we long to see and to know and be lead in wonder to the Truth.
May God Bless each and everyone of you.
Father Joseph.
