Today’s Reflection
Fourth Sunday of Lent March 26, 2017
Today’s Gospel JN 9:1-41
The man born blind
Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt
For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay. Habakkuk 2:3, NIV
Dear Father in heaven, in
quietness we come to
you and ask you for your
Spirit. We ask this
especially for the time of
waiting still required of us
as we hope and strive for
light to come into all
hearts, for light to shine
where there is so much
death. We must not
despair of our inner life
even when life around us
rages as if it would suck
us down into its whirlpool
with no way out. But you
will guard us. Watch over
us, we pray, also in hours
of temptation, so that we
may remain under your
care. Watch over us so
that we have hope and
joy in you, assured that
your goal for us all is true
life from above, a life of
resurrection. Amen.

HOW CONVERSION
HAPPENS
Conversion to Christ is a
process. The blind man in the
Gospel reading exemplifies this
journey into faith. Notice that at
first he did not go to Jesus.
Jesus came to him. The man
responded by waiting to see
what would happen and then by
obeying Jesus.
Conversion begins when Jesus
seeks us out and we make
ourselves available to his touch.
He then opens our eyes to the
truth, but we don't immediately
understand.
When the man's neighbors
asked about his cure, he did not
yet understand who Jesus was;
he thought of him as just a man.
Then, the pressure of listening
to the Pharisees argue about
who Jesus was caused him to
give it more thought. He
concluded that Jesus must be a
prophet, which for the Jews was
a highly esteemed, holy
vocation.
Next, as the Pharisees treated
him more roughly and raised the
possibility of expelling him
from the synagogue if he
claimed that Jesus was the
Christ, he began to wonder
whether it might be true. Their
reasons for hating Jesus became
the eye-openers that cured his
spiritual blindness.
Finally, Jesus sought him out
again, this time to minister to

Our Mission:
The Santo Niño Catholic Church is a faith community where all are welcome to celebrate Catholic beliefs embellished by the best Philippine traditions. It is a dynamic parish responding to the spiritual needs of the community to fulfill its evangelical mission and to realize Christ’s call of making disciples of all nations. (Parish Pastoral Council, 21 April 2001)
Prayer Corner
A s Jesus passed by he saw a man blind from
birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "Neither he nor his parents sinned; it is so that the works of God might be made visible through him. We have to do the works of the one who sent me while it is day. Night is coming when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world." When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes, and said to him, "Go wash in the Pool of Siloam" —which means Sent—. So he went and washed, and came back able to see. His neighbors and those who had seen him earlier as a beggar said, "Isn't this the one who used to sit and beg?" Some said, "It is, " but others said, "No, he just looks like him." He said, "I am." So they said to him, "How were your eyes opened?" He replied, "The man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and told me, 'Go to Siloam and wash.' So I went there and washed and was able to
see." And they said to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don't know." They brought the one who was once blind to the
Pharisees. Now Jesus had made clay and opened his eyes on a sabbath. So then the Pharisees also asked him how he was able to see. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I
washed, and now I can see." So some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he does not keep the sabbath." But others said, "How can a sinful man do such signs?" And there was a division among them. So they said to the blind man again, "What do you have to say about him, since he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet." Now the Jews did not believe that he had been blind and gained his sight until they summoned the parents of the one who had gained his sight. They asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How does he now see?" His parents answered and

him in response to the
mistreatment he had suffered
from the Pharisees. In this act
of caring, the man could see
who Jesus really was.
Conversion -- the purification
of our spiritual vision -- takes
place in the fire of our
sufferings as we recognize the
love and concern that God has
for us.
Questions for Personal
Reflection:
Name the areas of your life
where there is confusion from a
lack of understanding. Perhaps
you're having a hard time
seeing the good in someone.
Maybe you're worried about the
future. What will you do this
week that will help you see it
from God's perspective?
Questions for Community Faith
Sharing:
1. In the first reading, God
makes it clear that he sees what
we cannot see when we're
focused on external evidence.
Think of a time when you
looked deeper or beyond the
obvious. How did that change
you?
2. In Ephesians 5, we read that
we have become light in the
Lord. Name some of the good
fruits that come from the ability
to see what Jesus is doing in
your life.
3. The Gospel reading
illustrates that those who think
they can see the truth are very
often blind, and those who
acknowledge their blindness
become able to see clearly.
Why does this happen? How
has it happened to you?

amazing, that you do not know where he is from, yet he opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if one is devout and does his will, he listens to him. It is unheard of that anyone ever opened the eyes of a person born blind. If this man were not from God, he would not be able to do anything." They answered and said to him, "You were born totally in sin, and are you trying to teach us?" Then they threw him out. When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, he found him and said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" He answered and said, "Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?" Jesus said to him, "You have seen him, the one speaking with you is he." He said, "I do believe, Lord," and he worshiped him. Then Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see might see, and those who do see might become blind." Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, "Surely we are not also blind, are we?" Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you are saying, 'We see,' so your sin remains.

said, "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. We do not know how he sees now, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him, he is of age; he can speak for himself." His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone acknowledged him as the Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue. For this reason his parents said, "He is of age; question him." So a second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, "Give God the praise! We know that this man is a sinner." He replied, "If he is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know is that I was blind and now I see." So they said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?" He answered them, "I told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?" They ridiculed him and said, "You are that man's disciple; we are disciples of Moses! We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this one is from." The man answered and said to them, "This is what is so
