Reflecting on Last Week - 19 March 2023:
Fourth Sunday of Lent
Homily Take-Aways (Father Tom Gills)...
As with the blind man, we should want our eyes to be anointed - "Christed" - by the Savior.
Let's move from selfless vision to service vision.
True sight is from the heart, not just the eyes.
The closer we get to Jesus, the more clearley we see God.
Looking Ahead to Next Week - 26 March 2023:
Fifth Sunday of Lent (liturgical color: Violet)
Papal Intentions...
Papal intention for March 2023: "For Victims of Abuse"
