The man who was blind from birth proclaimed: The one called Jesus made clay with his saliva, anointed my eyes with it, and told me to wash. When I washed, I was able to see! (John9:1-41 [1, 6-9, 13-17, 34-38])

M 26, 2017 2 — O L L V C C

Have you ever had the experience of hearing or reading something that you know you have read or heard many times before but didn’t really understand the meaning? Then, all of a sudden, the "light comes on" and you understand in a way that you didn't before. We have some of that in the Readings for today. Don't just read or hear the words, but listen with your heart to the deeper meaning of the following passages. It might take a little more time to absorb the full meaning, but it is worth the effort. In the First Reading, from the First Book of Samuel (16:1-13), Samuel, a special servant of the God of Israel, is sent on a mission of great importance, to anoint a new king to replace Saul. He looks at the many sons of Jesse to whom God sends him and thinks, to himself, that each would be a fitting replacement; but God has different plans and rejects them all except the last, the youngest. Now Samuels sees what God had in mind, a young man with the confidence and character needed to fill a large role in God's Plan of Salvation. The Responsorial Psalm, (23:1-6), is the famous "The Lord is My Shepherd" prayer. Even though you might have heard this many times, pause and listen to the words. God is truly a divine shepherd who wishes to take care of each of us as thoroughly as a shepherd takes care of his sheep. Sheep do not have good eyesight and require careful watching for many reasons. God is willing to watch over us, if we let Him and follow His lead. In the Second Reading, from St. Paul's Letter to the Ephesians (5:8-14), Paul uses the symbols of “light” and “darkness” to indicate awareness and ignorance or even worse, a refusal to listen. If written in today's language, Paul's letter would probably say, "If you are truly Christ's disciple then live according to His teachings. Don't ignore the life and teachings of Jesus Christ; they are our keys to heaven. The Gospel Reading is from the Gospel of John (9:1-41). Here we have an extensive teaching by Jesus referring to Himself as the Light of the World; and here we have a blind man who represents all of Juda-ism from antiquity to the present who longs to see the Messiah, but is unable because he is looking in the wrong direction or, he is looking for something or someone to fulfill a preconceived need. In this story, the Pharisees, who knew better but who refused to listen, were both deaf and blind to what Jesus was saying and doing. Their minds were not open and their faith was so locked in the earthly teachings of Moses that they failed to see God standing before them in the person of Jesus Christ. The old proverb applies here: "There is no one as blind as he who refuses to see!" During this Lenten Season ask God to help you open your mind and heart to what He is asking of you and what He wants to do through you. Something to think about during your Prayer Time this week!

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, This weekend our diocese will be taking up The Catholic Relief Services Collection (CRSC). By participating in this collection, you are responding to Jesus in disguise in some of the most marginalized communities in our world. The CRSC provides services for immigrants, humanitarian aid in the wake of natural disasters, refuge for the displaced, and advocacy for peace and justice around the world. Let us join together in this collection to support those suffering and on the margins of society. For example, in Niger, changes in climate in western Africa are adversely affecting poor and rural farmers. No matter how hard these farmers work, droughts are shortening the rainy season, leaving harvests too small to support families and communities. Your support of the CRSC is helping connect businesses that provide drought-resistant seeds to these communities. These new relationships are providing hope to these communities for a sustainable future. Your support of this collection makes a difference for so many around the world. Please prayerfully consider how you can support the collection this year. If you want to learn more about the collection and the people who benefit, please visit www.usccb.org/catholic-relief. Support the collection and answer the knock of Jesus in disguise. Sincerely yours in Christ, Most Reverend Joseph A. Pepe, D.D., J.C.D. Bishop of Las Vegas

On the weekend of March 18 & 19 Confirmation II & RCIA students attended their retreats at Potosi Pines Retreat Camp.

Many thanks to the Knights of Columbus & OLLV’s Women’s Guild for their generous support.

If you fast without humility, it is worth nothing and cannot be pleasing to the Lord.

Be sure to keep your Rice Bowl throughout Lent. There will be a receptacle in the vestibule of the church the weekend AFTER Easter,

April 22 & 23, for you to turn in your Rice Bowls. Thank you for your generosity! [Y]ou were once darkness, but now you are light in the

Lord. (Ephesians 5:8)

As the daylight lengthens in the Northern Hemisphere, our Lenten return to God strengthens the light of Christ in us.

For reflection this week: Can others see my daily life and believe that I am a child of light?
