Father Arnold gave the mass today and we had the second of the two sermons. The first reading was from 2 Chronicles 36:14-16, 19-23 (32B). It was about Jesse, who brought 7 of his sons to present to Samuel to see if the lord would annoint any of them, but the lord rejected them all. Samuel asked Jesse if these were all the sons he had and he said no as his youngest was tending the sheep. Samuel told Jesse to go get him and when the child showed up he was selected.
The second reading was from Ephisians 2:4-10 where we were told to concentrate on light and not darkness.
Then there was the Gospel which was ver long today. It was John 9:1-41 and was about a blind man who was made to see.
The Father then talked about sin and how we must pray for forgiveness to have the sins removed.
I guess this Sunday in addition to being called the 4th Sunday of lent is also called Letare Sunday, which is too be of a joyful nature. Even though it is lent and we are supposed to be suffering for our sins, God is very forgiving and therefore we should rejoice during this Sunday.
All in all it was great to go and I feel good now that I attended. Now I have to change clothes, and get a few things done before I start my 2 hour stint moderating blogs in blogshares.
