1 READ & REFLECT! Listen & Learn with Jesus, the Word!
Jesus saw a man who had been blind from birth. He wet his fingers, made a muddy paste with the dust
on the ground, put this over the eyes of the blind man and said to him, “Go and wash off the paste in
the Pool of Siloam.” When the man came back he was able to see. Some of the teachers of the Law
did not believe the man and what the man said about Jesus healing him, and they drove him away.
When Jesus found the man he said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” “Sir,” the man replied,
“tell me who he is so that I may believe in him.” Jesus said, “You are looking at him; he is speaking
to you.” The man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshipped Jesus.
What had the blind man told the teachers of the Law?

“Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.”
HEALING
St Thomas More
This Sunday’s Gospel reminds us how, in Jesus, God is
active in the world, bringing healing. At differing times and
in differing ways, we all need the healing touch of God.
Ask your child what the word ‘healing’ means to them.
It may help your child if you tell them about the different
kinds of healing we can experience in life. Then ask your
child who brings healing to them, bringing comfort when
they are ill, hurt or upset.
Dear Lord Jesus, help us to see you more clearly – to believe in you
and to share your light and healing with all those around us. Amen.

As a family, consider if there is anyone to whom you can help bring
God’s healing in this coming week. Perhaps you could: pray for
someone; talk gently and lovingly to someone if there is a problem;
take time to listen carefully to them, and try to support them where
possible. God has given the Church sacraments for healing – the
Sacrament of the Sick and the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession).
In preparation for Easter, many parish churches will be having special
Reconciliation services to which all are warmly invited.

It’s good to be a ‘healer’. We can hurt people by unkind words,
by a look or by refusing to speak to them. But we can heal
people by a smile, by a greeting or even by asking
for their forgiveness or offering them ours.
