Dear Parents and Carers,
In this Sunday’s Gospel, we read about how Jesus brought
healing and light into the life of the man who was born
blind. The man could then see the world around him, but
the most important thing he saw was who Jesus really was
– the Son of God.
Difficulties, worries and sickness can sometimes be part of
our lives. Yet, when we believe in Jesus and we pray and
look carefully, we can often learn something about

the world and ourselves, and about how Jesus is always
there for us. Jesus is the light of the world. Believing in
him brings light to our lives; it changes how we see the
world and it can bring healing to us too. Come and see!
Enjoy a special time this evening, hearing your
child’s thoughts about this Sunday’s Gospel and
this Wednesday’s word, which is HEALING.

Sunday 15th March 2026
As Jesus went along, he saw a man who
had been blind from birth. Jesus spat on
the ground, made a paste with the spittle,
put this over the eyes of the blind man
and said to him, “Go and wash in the Pool
of Siloam” (a name that means ‘sent’). So
the blind man went off and washed himself, and came
away with his sight restored. His neighbours and
people who earlier had seen him begging said, “Isn’t
this the man who used to sit and beg?” Some said,
“Yes, it is the same one.” Others said, “No, he only
looks like him.” The man himself said, “I am the man.”
Some of the Pharisees did not believe that Jesus had
healed him and they drove him away. Jesus heard
about this and when he 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.

Good News
for Everyone
God still heals today, through the sacraments of the Church (which remind us
of God’s love and care for us) and through people: doctors, nurses and,
if we let him, through us too. Following Jesus’ teachings and loving
others brings healing and adds something very special to our lives.
