Daily Gospel Reading

John 9:24-25, 32-34

24 So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and they said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.” 25 He answered, “I do not know whether he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”

32 Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” 34 They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you trying to teach us?” And they drove him out.

Week Four, March 20 - March 24

Worship Scripture: John 11:1-35

Guiding Questions:

As you long for the eternal light, what brings you to tears in the meanwhile? How do you, like Jesus, sit with others in their grief? And how do you help to wipe the tears away from the cheeks of those around you? What might be a ‘tear-wiping’ activity for you this week?
