Welcome to the Lenten Season at Peace.

As we continue the 40-day journey with Christ toward the cross and empty tomb, our relationship with God through the covenant of baptism is renewed. Returning to our baptismal call, we are set free to more intentionally bear the fruits of mercy and justice in the world.

The gospel for this Sunday is the story of the man born blind healed by Christ.  “I was blind, now I see,” declares the man.  This healing sets off a controversy about what enables us to see God at work and what prevents us from seeing God at work.  While the ability of the “officially religious” representatives in the story become more and more rigid in their conviction, the insight of man who was formerly blind grows until finally his physical sight and spiritual insight converge as he sees Jesus for who he truly is: Lord.  In baptism God opens our eyes to see the truth of who Jesus is and who we, by grace, are: God’s beloved children.

As we celebrate Christ’s presence in the Bread of Wine of the Eucharist, we receive bread for the journey.
