‘It was your eyes he opened!’

The Trócaire Lenten campaign this year invites us to Kenya, to hear the

struggles and concerns of the people of Ishiara parish who are suffering the

disastrous effects of climate change. Fr Barasa, the parish priest there, says:

‘Climate change is an important issue within our faith because whatever God

created is good. Whatever God created is also related to us; we need the

environment and it needs us. What I pray for is that everyone will come

together, because one continent cannot do it on its own. I would like to ask

people to work together against climate change. Let us pray for rain and

support each other so this planet may still be here for the next generations, so

that we may not be the last ones to live here.’

The Gospel today tells the story of the healing of the man born blind who,

like us, is being invited to see more clearly, until he finally worships Jesus. In

contrast, the Pharisees in the story are becoming more blind. The more clearly

the man can see, the more opposition he faces, as those who hold power

object to him and his new-found vision. How can we as parish communities

work for justice for our brothers and sisters who are in need? We need

to see them, to see their struggle, to see the systems which contribute to the

crisis. Through small actions we can live in solidarity and challenge those in

power to work for transformation.

‘Transformation … begins with the people of God who start turning the

things of death into things of life. And the kings and presidents and nations

will follow.’

Shane Claiborne

A Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all

things, and I long for You in my soul.

Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my

heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely

to You, never permit me to be separated from You.

A Prayer for this time of threat of infection

Jesus Christ, you travelled through towns and villages “curing every disease and illness.” At your command, the sick were made well. Come to our aid now, in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, that we may experience your healing love and protection. Heal those who are sick with the virus. May they regain their strength and health through quality medical care and the intercession of Our Lady.
