BLIND MAN, SUNDAY OF THE PDF Print E-mail
BLIND MAN, SUNDAY OF THE -The sixth Sunday of Easter commemorates the healing of the man blind from birth (Jn 9). We are identified with that man who came to see and to believe in Jesus as the Son of God. The Lord has anointed our eyes with his own divine hands and washed them with the waters of our baptism (John 9:6-ll).
 

The Sayings of the Fathers

The purpose of the advent of the Saviour, when He gave us His life-giving commandments as purifying remedies in our passionate state, was to cleanse the soul from the damage done by the first transgression and bring it back to its original state. What medicines are for a sick body, the commandments are for the passionate soul. - Pearls from Saint Isaac of Syria
