“Blindness” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus cured the beggar who was blind from birth. While he was overjoyed at being cured, there was greater joy in being able to see Jesus, the Saviour. The Pharisees continued to be “blind” in their faith. Are we blind to living the Continue Reading

Humility-Truth: When we are genuinely God-centred, the Christ-like love within our hearts will be compassionate, forgiving and humble.

Jesus – Fulfils the Law: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed that He has come to fulfil the Law of Moses; not to abolish it. Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, knows our needs, sees our sinfulness, and rejoices in our faith in Him. Are we open to the Truth of Continue Reading

“Living Water” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus offers the Samaritan woman Himself, as the “Living Water” that quenches all our “thirsts”, and she accepted.
