It was a Grand Slam Sermon at Mass today. I even took the time to tell our priest, Father Richardson, that he delivered on of the best sermons I’ve heard in my life.
The subject was TRUST.
The sermon was based on today’s Gospel (John 9:1-41) – the story about Jesus restoring the sight of the blind man after applying a paste of mud and saliva to his eyes. We were reminded that “back in the day” any Jew who was touched by the bodily fluid of another was considered defiled (hence people spitting on Jesus during his trial and the walk to Calvary were really mocking and degrading Him).
