In the Gospel reading from St. John's Gospel for March 2nd, we hear the account of our Lord's healing of the man born blind. Our Lord points out that there is another kind of blindness which is the blindness of Pharisees who do not humbly acknowledge that they are blind and need to be healed. On the other hand, the healed man sees and believes in our Lord. We can be like either one of these who are blind because like the blind man, we are all in need of the Lord's healing in order to be able to see as our Lord wants us to see. The question is whether we are ready to acknowledge our need and believe in the One who can heal us.
