Week 4:

Seeing things differently

In John’s Gospel (Chapter 9: Verses 1, 6-9, 13-17, 34-38) this week, the blind man who receives healing from Jesus says, ‘I only know that I was blind and now I can see’ as we consider the blind spots we experience in our own lives.

Closing Prayer

Jesus,
you are the light of the world.
Give us the grace to be aware of our blind spots.
Help is trust you to open our inner eyes to your light,
so we may know and love you and others more deeply.
Amen
