A time of Lexio devena for the discerning heart.

The fourth Sunday of Lent, Littari Sunday.

As you begin, take a deep breath and exhale slowly.

For the next few moments,

surrender all the cares and concerns of the stay to the Lord. Say slowly from your heart, Jesus, I trust in you. You take over become aware become aware that he is with you, looking upon you with love, wanting to be heard deep within your heart.

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to to John, Chapter 9, verses 1 through 41.

As Jesus went along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.

His disciples asked him,

Rabbi, who sinned?

This man, or his parents, for him to have been born blind.

Neither he nor his parents sinned, Jesus answered.

He was born blind so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

As long as the day lasts, I must carry out the work of the one who sent me.

The night will soon be here when no one can work.

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

Having said this, he spat on the ground, made a paste with spittle,

put this over the eyes of the blind man and said to him,

go and wash at the pool of Salome, that means scent. So the blind men went off and washed himself,

and came away with his sight restored. His neighbors 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.
