Fourth Sunday of Lent. Apr. 3, 2011
Fr. Anthony Brankin
Gospel: John 9:1-41 Jesus heals the blind man
Free MP3 Audio
Summary: When Fr. Brankin was a boy, a beautiful crucifix in his grandmother’s house impressed him so much that it became the standard of all crucifixes he would see. Today’s crucifixes, however, do not match the reality of its meaning. Now they depict some pink guy dancing through the flowers. They are made in China out of plastic. Do those Chinese workers know the suffering Jesus? How difficult it is to find a cross like the old ones today.
The many allurements and problems of our modern world hold many Christians captive from knowing and practicing their faith. Help those whose faith is in danger. Become a Mercedarian friar. Visit Fr. Joseph Eddy’s Facebook page, or the website of the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy
