From Blindness to Seeing, John 9, Ephesians 5:1-14

Fr. Jeremiah Caughran From Blindness to Seeing, John 9, Ephesians 5.1-14

When Jesus and his disciples encounter a man born blind, they wonder about the cause of the blindness, but Jesus wants to reveal that this someone that God can work in and he calls them to be about the work of the Father in all that they do.

Eyes Opened to the Light, John 9.1-13, 28-42

Fr. Jeremiah Caughran Eyes Opened to the Light, John 9.1-13,28-42

When Jesus heals a man born blind, he does something that no one had ever done. In the midst of that, he shows that the Light will overcome the darkness though the darkness will continually fight against it and all those who follow the Light.
