15th March
Fourth Sunday of Lent
Happy Mother’s Day
Dear Friends,
Today we meet Jesus, giving sight for the first time to a man who was born blind. His parents who were no doubt overjoyed when he got the gift to see (something we all take for granted and complain about when we have to use glasses). It coincides with the preparation of those who are getting ready for baptism at Eastertime. It is referred in our mass books as the second scrutiny, which may be compared to parents giving their children advice to look left and right before crossing the road safely. Let us pray for those who are being received into Christ’s Church this Eastertime and pray also that we may open our eyes every day and be thankful for the gift of sight.
The Prayer of St. Augustine for peace in our troubled world:
“O Lord God, grant your peace to us; the peace of rest, the peace of the Sabbath which has no evening”
With these words of St, Augustine, let us ask the Father to grant to our world, all peoples, especially those who are most forgotten and who suffer the most, the blessing grace of a just and lasting peace.
