Bonus Sermon in a Bottle

Fourth Sunday of Lent - A.  "Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?"

How often we make sins of presumption.  We presume to know who is good, who is bad, what is the best way forward.  John the Evangelist's brilliant story of the man born blind challenges presumptions at every turn:  who is a sinner (not the blind man); who is strong (not his fearful parents); who believes (the now sighted young man); and who is truly blind (those who reject Jesus the Christ).  We need to pray daily to be "a people of the light," seeing as the Lord teaches.
