Summary

Homily from the Fourth Sunday of Lent.

We need to stop asking "who is to blame?" and start asking "What can God do with this?"

The disciples ask Jesus whose fault it is that the man was born blind. So many of us have a tendency to ask the same question: "Whose fault is this?" While that is a natural question, it is not always a helpful question. There is a better question that we can ask.

Mass Readings from March 19, 2023 :
1 Samuel 16:1, 6-7, 10-13
