I do believe, Lord,

Reading 1 1 SM 16:1B, 6-7, 10-13A The LORD said to Samueland Fill your horn with oil, and be on your way.I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem,for I have chosen my king from among his sons. As Jesse and his sons came to the sacrifice,Samuel looked at Eliab and thought, Surely the LORD’s anointed is here before him. But the LORD said to Samueland Do not judge from his appearance or from his lofty stature,because I have rejected him.Not as man sees does God see,because man sees the appearancebut the LORD looks into the heart. In the same way Jesse presented seven sons before Samuel,but Samuel said to Jesse, The LORD has not chosen any one of these. Then Samuel asked Jesse, Are these all the sons you have? Jesse replied, There is still the youngest, who is tending the sheep. Samuel said to Jesse, Send for himwe will not begin the sacrificial banquet until he arrives here. Jesse sent and had the young man brought to them.He was ruddy, a youth handsome to beholdand making a splendid appearance.The LORD said, There—anoint him, for this is the one! Then Samuel, with the horn of oil in hand,anointed David in the presence of his brothersand from that day on, the spirit of the LORD rushed upon David. Responsorial Psalm PS 23: 1-3A, 3B-4, 5, 6 R. (1) The Lord is my shepherd there is nothing I shall want.The LORD is my shepherd I shall not want.In verdant pastures he gives me reposebeside restful waters he leads mehe refreshes my soul.R. The Lord is my shepherd there is nothing I shall want.He guides me in right pathsfor his name’s sake.Even though I walk in the dark valleyI fear no evil for you are at my sideWith your rod and your staffthat give me courage.R. The Lord is my shepherd there is nothing I shall want.You spread the table before mein the sight of my foesyou anoint my head with oilmy cup overflows.R. The Lord is my shepherd there is nothing I shall want.Only goodness and kindness follow meall the days of my lifeand I shall dwell in the house of the LORDfor years to come.R. The Lord is my shepherd there is nothing I shall want. Reading 2 EPH 5and8-14 Brothers and sistersandYou were once darkness,but now you are light in the Lord.Live as children of light,for light produces every kind of goodnessand righteousness and truth.Try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.Take no part in the fruitless works of darknessrather expose them, for it is shameful even to mentionthe things done by them in secretbut everything exposed by the light becomes visible,for everything that becomes visible is light.Therefore, it saysand Awake, O sleeper,and arise from the dead,and Christ will give you light. Verse Before The Gospel JN 8:12 I am the light of the world, says the Lordwhoever follows me will have the light of life. Gospel JN 9and1-41 As Jesus passed by he saw a man blind from birth.His disciples asked him, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents,that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither he nor his parents sinnedit is so that the works of God might be made visible through him.We have to do the works of the one who sent me while it is day.Night is coming when no one can work.While I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had said this, he spat on the groundand made clay with the saliva,and smeared the clay on his eyes,and said to him, Go wash in the Pool of Siloam —which means Sent—.So he went and washed, and came back able to see.His neighbors and those who had seen him earlier as a beggar said, Isn’t this the one who used to sit and beg? Some said, It is, but others said, No, he just looks like him. He said, I am. So they said to him, How were your eyes opened? He replied, The man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyesand told me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’So I went there and washed and was able to see. And they said to him, Where is he? He said, I don’t know. They brought the one who was once blind to the Pharisees.Now Jesus had made clay and opened his eyes on a sabbath.So then the Pharisees also asked him how he was able to see.He said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see. So some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God,because he does not keep the sabbath. But others said, How can a sinful man do such signs? And there was a division among them.So they said to the blind man again, What do you have to say about him,since he opened your eyes? He said, He is a prophet. Now the Jews did not believethat he had been blind and gained his sightuntil they summoned the parents of the one who had gained his sight.They asked them, Is this your son, who you say was born blind?How does he now see? His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.We do not know how he sees now,nor do we know who opened his eyes.Ask him, he is of agehe can speak for himself. His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews,for the Jews had already agreedthat if anyone acknowledged him as the Christ,he would be expelled from the synagogue.For this reason his parents said, He is of age question him. So a second time they called the man who had been blindand said to him, Give God the praise!We know that this man is a sinner. He replied, If he is a sinner, I do not know.One thing I do know is that I was blind and now I see. So they said to him, What did he do to you?How did he open your eyes? He answered them, I told you already and you did not listen.Why do you want to hear it again?Do you want to become his disciples, too? They ridiculed him and said, You are that man’s disciplewe are disciples of Moses!We know that God spoke to Moses,but we do not know where this one is from. The man answered and said to them, This is what is so amazing,that you do not know where he is from, yet he opened my eyes.We know that God does not listen to sinners,but if one is devout and does his will, he listens to him.It is unheard of that anyone ever opened the eyes of a person born blind.If this man were not from God,he would not be able to do anything. They answered and said to him, You were born totally in sin,and are you trying to teach us? Then they threw him out.When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out,he found him and said, Do you believe in the Son of Man? He answered and said, Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him? Jesus said to him, You have seen him,the one speaking with you is he. He said, I do believe, Lord, and he worshiped him.Then Jesus said, I came into this world for judgment,so that those who do not see might see,and those who do see might become blind. Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard thisand said to him, Surely we are not also blind, are we? Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sinbut now you are saying, ‘We see,’ so your sin remains.Or JN 9and1, 6-9, 13-17, 34-38As Jesus passed by he saw a man blind from birth.He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva,and smeared the clay on his eyes, and said to him, Go wash in the Pool of Siloam — which means Sent —.So he went and washed, and came back able to see.His neighbors and those who had seen him earlier as a beggar said, Isn’t this the one who used to sit and beg? Some said, It is, but others said, No, he just looks like him. He said, I am.

Then they threw him out.When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out,he found him and said, Do you believe in the Son of Man? He answered and said, Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him? Jesus said to him, You have seen him, andthe one speaking with you is he. He said, I do believe, Lord, and he worshiped him. 1 and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/wp-content/themes/Extra/images/star-full.svg 2 and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/wp-content/themes/Extra/images/star-full.svg 3 and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/wp-content/themes/Extra/images/star-full.svg 4 and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/wp-content/themes/Extra/images/star-full.svg 5 and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/wp-content/themes/Extra/images/star-full.svg and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/ppcrv-says-legitimate-reason-needed-to-reset-barangay-polls/ rel= prev PREVIOUSPPCRV says ‘legitimate’ reason needed to reset barangay polls RELATED POSTS and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/march-21-2017/ March 21 2017 and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/21-440x264.jpg and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/march-21-2017/ March 21, 2017 March 21, 2017 and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/march-20-2017/ March 20 2017 and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/20-440x264.jpg and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/march-20-2017/ March 20, 2017 March 20, 2017 and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/january-3-2017-january-3-2017/ and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/january-3-2017-january-3-2017/ January 3, 2017 – JN 1:29-34 January 1, 2017 and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/january-14-2017-mk-213-17/ and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/january-14-2017-mk-213-17/ January 14, 2017 – MK 2:13-17 January 9, 2017 Leave a reply Your email address will not be published.Required fields are marked*Notify me of follow-up comments by email.Notify me of new posts by email. and//visitaiglesia.net/ and//cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/visita-iglesia-2.jpg Subscribe to CBCPNews Join our mailing list to receive the latest news and updates.
