FAITH BOOK

4th SUNDAY OF LENT -C- March 30, 2025

1 Samuel 16: 1b, 6-7, 10-13a; Psalm 23; Ephesians 5: 8-14; John 9: 1-41

Jude Siciliano, OP

Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.

From today’s Gospel reading:

Jesus...smeared the clay on the blind man’s 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.

Reflection:

We who have been washed in the baptismal pool have received sight. Now we must be ready to give our own accounting of what has happened to us – just as the blind man did. We must be prepared to put into plain and personal language who Jesus is for us and what difference our faith in him makes in our lives.

So, we ask ourselves:

• Was there a moment in our lives when we had an experience of Jesus giving us a new gift of sight?

• What difference has that new insight or experience made in our lives?
