About this listen

We take Laetare Sunday seriously as a mid-Lent call to rejoice because God is actually converting us, not because our discipline is almost finished. We walk through Jesus healing the man born blind and ask what spiritual blindness looks like today and how God gives us new sight.

• why Laetare Sunday is an oasis of joy rooted in conversion
• the man born blind and the mud as a sign of new creation
• faith growing in stages from “Jesus” to “prophet” to “Lord, I believe”
• the Pharisees and how spiritual pride keeps the heart closed
• “stopping being surprised by God” and the trap of control
• seeing life through natural sight versus eyes of faith
• prayer for clarity and attention in a distracted life
• fasting as detachment that leads to real freedom
• almsgiving as learning to see others as family and mission
• why spiritual blindness is more frightening than physical blindness

Do the hard lifting. If you fell off the wagon, get back on track. Prayer, fasting, almsgiving. Don’t turn a blind eye to it. Let the Lord heal it.
