Introduction
On the 4th Sunday of Lent in Year A, the Church continues its ancient baptismal catechesis with the Gospel of the man born blind. Last Sunday, Jesus revealed himself as the giver of living water; today, he is proclaimed as the Light of the World. Through these readings, the Church accompanies the catechumens toward the illumination of Baptism — and invites the already baptized to renew the grace by which they were brought out of darkness into Christ’s marvelous light.
Today’s readings reveal the God who sees differently than we do, who looks into the heart, and who restores sight to those who long to see. Christ comes not only to heal physical blindness, but to open the eyes of faith, that we may walk as children of the light.
