His disciples asked him, \u201cRabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?\u201d Jesus answered, \u201cNeither 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.\u201d 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, \u201cGo wash in the Pool of Siloam\u201d\u2014which means Sent\u2014. So he went and washed, and came back able to see. His neighbors and those who had seen him earlier as a beggar said, \u201cIsn\u2019t this the one who used to sit and beg?\u201d Some said, \u201cIt is, \u201cbut others said, \u201cNo, he just looks like him.\u201d He said, \u201cI am.\u201d So they said to him, \u201cHow were your eyes opened?\u201d He replied, \u201cThe man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and told me, \u2018Go to Siloam and wash.\u2019 So I went there and washed and was able to see.\u201d And they said to him, \u201cWhere is he?\u201d He said, \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d 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, \u201cHe put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.\u201d So some of the Pharisees said, \u201cThis man is not from God, because he does not keep the sabbath.\u201d But others said, \u201cHow can a sinful man do such signs?\u201d And there was a division among them. So they said to the blind man again, \u201cWhat do you have to say about him, since he opened your eyes?\u201d He said, \u201cHe is a prophet.\u201d 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, \u201cIs this your son, who you say was born blind? How does he now see?\u201d His parents answered and said, \u201cWe 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.\u201d 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, \u201cHe is of age; question him.\u201d So a second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, \u201cGive God the praise! We know that this man is a sinner.\u201d He replied, \u201cIf he is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know is that I was blind and now I see.\u201d So they said to him, \u201cWhat did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?\u201d He answered them, \u201cI told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?\u201d They ridiculed him and said, \u201cYou are that man\u2019s disciple; we are disciples of Moses! We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this one is from.\u201d The man answered and said to them, \u201cThis is what is so 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.\u201d They answered and said to him, \u201cYou were born totally in sin, and are you trying to teach us?\u201d Then they threw him out. When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, he found him and said, \u201cDo you believe in the Son of Man?\u201d He answered and said, \u201cWho is he, sir, that I may believe in him?\u201d Jesus said to him, \u201cYou have seen him, the one speaking with you is he.\u201d He said, \u201cI do believe, Lord,\u201d and he worshiped him. Then Jesus said, \u201cI came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see might see, and those who do see might become blind.\u201d Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, \u201cSurely we are not also blind, are we?\u201d Jesus said to them, \u201cIf you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you are saying, \u2018We see,\u2019 so your sin remains.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord, you know how blind I am to your presence and your work in my life. In this time of prayer, I renew my faith\u2014I <em>do <\/em>believe in your enduring presence. I renew my hope in your promise of eternal life. I love you for the work you have already done and are continuing to do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li><strong>The Works of God: <\/strong>Jews of the first century commonly regarded blindness (or any physical ailment, for that matter) a manifestation of sin. They asked Jesus, therefore, <em>who <\/em>it was who sinned. Jesus responded: \u201cNeither he nor his parents sinned; it is so that the works of God might be made visible through him.\u201d St. Paul recounted that the Lord once told him, \u201cMy grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness\u201d (2 Cor 12:9). God\u2019s power becomes perfectly manifest in the poverty and blindness of our human condition, especially when we are open to his grace and his work in us.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Transformation of Healing: <\/strong>After Christ healed the blind man, the Pharisees had trouble recognizing him: \u201cIsn\u2019t this the one who used to sit and beg?\u201d The work of Christ in us, which heals and converts us, is a transformative work that can change the way we are perceived by others. The season of Lent is the perfect time to allow the Lord to perfect this transformation in us, but it can come at a cost. People who think they know us might be tempted to criticize us for our Lenten fasts or mortifications, claiming we\u2019re no longer the same person. Are we willing to endure this criticism, if it means transformation into Christ?\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cEven If My Father and Mother Forsake Me\u2026\u201d:<\/strong> The transformation that Christ worked in the blind man had serious repercussions for him: people didn\u2019t recognize him, and his own parents distanced themselves from him. \u201cHe is of age; question him,\u201d his parents said. However, he was not totally forsaken. Jesus approached him and revealed himself to be the Son of Man. For the ex-blind man, the words of Psalm 27 came true: \u201cEven if my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will take me in\u201d (Ps 27:10). We need faith to seek out Christ when friends and family seem to misunderstand or reject us.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, enlighten the eyes of my heart, to see you for who you truly are: the Son of Man, the Savior of the world. Give me the strength to be able to cling to you, even when those I love seem to reject me or distance themselves from me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will extend my friendship to someone in my workplace or school who seems to be an outcast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brian Flanagan is a Regnum Christi member from Atlanta, Georgia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s Bible Readings from the USCCB The Order of the Mass March 15, 2026 &#8211;
