STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION In the entire Bible from Genesis in the Old Testament through the Gospel of John, the incident reported in John 9, the Gospel Reading on this Fourth Sunday of Lent, the restoration of sight to the blind man is the only instance of a blind person since birth being healed. No other prophet or apostle or priest ever performed such a miracle.
Isaiah the prophet had predicted “The eyes of blind will be opened” (Isaiah 35:5) in his prophecies of the Messiah. Of course, we need to understand that the “eyes of the blind will be opened” has a double meaning. Yes, the blind man can see, but he can also understand and comprehend what Jesus’ saving grace means.
This time during Lent is a time for us to open our eyes as well. We need to see and to embrace the fact that Jesus is our Savior and Redeemer. To see we need light. In the Second Reading from St. Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians, Paul says, “Live as children of light, for light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth.”
Is that not what our whole purpose in Lent is? To seek the light; to find an understanding of the Lord’s place in our lives; to open our eyes; and to become Disciples of the Lord? We often make reference to the fact that we are called to be disciples. What does that mean? Ac‐cording to Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, it meant, “Do not keep Christ to yourselves. Share with others the joy of your faith. The world needs the witness of your faith; it surely needs God.”

REFLECION DOMINICAL En toda la Biblia, desde el Génesis en el Antiguo Testamento por medio del Evangelio de Juan, informó del incidente en Juan 9, el Evangelio de este cuarto domingo de Cuaresma, la restauración de la vista al ciego es el único caso de una persona ciega desde a luz siendo curado. Ningún otro profeta o apóstol o cura alguna vez realizaron un milagro.
Isaías el profeta había predicho “serán abiertos los ojos de ciegos” (Isaías 35: 5) en sus profecías del Mesías. Por supuesto, tenemos que entender que “se abrirán los ojos de los ciegos” los tiene un doble significado. Sí, el ciego puede ver, pero que también se puede entender y comprender lo que significa la gracia salvadora de Jesús.
Esta vez durante la Cuaresma es un tiempo para nosotros para abrir los ojos también. Tenemos que ver y abrazar el hecho de que Jesús es nuestro Salvador y Redentor. Para ver necesitamos la luz. En la segunda lectura de la carta de St. Paul a los Efesios, Pablo dice: “Vive como hijos de la luz, la luz produce toda clase de bondad, justicia y verdad.”
No es eso lo que todo nuestro propósito en la Cuaresma es? Para buscar la luz; para encontrar una comprensión del lugar del Señor en nuestras vidas; abrir los ojos; y llegar a ser Discípulos del Señor? A menudo hacemos referencia al hecho de que estamos llamados a ser discípulos. Qué significa eso? Según el Papa emérito Benedict XVI, que significaba: “No mantener a Cristo a ustedes mismos. Compartir con los demás la alegría de vuestra fe. El mundo necesita el testimonio de vuestra fe; necesita ciertamente a Dios “.
