Fourth Sunday of Lent.

Key Word: Blindness.

Trócaire's Lenten Campaign- Climate Change.
Our inner blindness has, in the past, prevented us from seeing the damage we have been doing to creation. Nowadays the information we have on climate change and the devastating effect it is having on those who are least able to cope in the developing world surely means that we can no longer claim " blindness" as an excuse. The question for each one of us is "what am I going to do with this gift of new sight and understanding? What can I do to help those most in need?"

Readings: 1 Samuel 16: 1. 6-7. 10-13.
Psalm 22.
Ephesians 5: 8-14.
John 9:1-41.
