Spiritual Sunday Thoughts
Today I’m sharing some Spiritual Sunday Thoughts that the Priest spoke about at Mass.
One message was about blindness as in the cover of the bulletin, a man talked to Jesus and wanted to see. But there is more than physical blindness and not being able to see, there is also Spiritual blindness. The Priest went on to say if you are spiritually blind you hear the truth but don’t see what it means. When you come to Jesus you are placing your faith in him as he opens your eyes to see the glory of God.

He also talked about the song from Johnny Nash from 1972, I Can See Clearly Now. In his song he sings about the dark clouds that had him blind are gone, the same as what the message in church today was.
The SUN rises in the sky. The SON rises before our eyes at the alter. This was the closing hymn today.
As I walked out of church I looked up and snapped this beautiful picture of the SUN peaking through the tree, but I knew the SON was right there also. May you all have a wonderful blessed day full of SUNshine while the SON watches over us.
Beautiful thoughts
The SON is always shining down even if the SUN is not Jasmine.
Lovely messages and reflections, Martha!
I always enjoy our pastor’s messages – she so eloquently weaves in the layers of stories.
One of her first tells, 9 years ago, was ‘Who Gets to tell the Story?’ Drawing from the Gospel of Mary. (As Baptists, we have ‘Bible freedom,’ and can draw from the other gospels)
When I first discovered Mary’s gospel, and it’s history of failed attempts at being published (beginning with a flood in the German print shop ~ 100 years ago!!)
And – I was so sad my mama wasn’t still alive to share the joy!
She and my dad were so interested in the other Dead Sea Scrolls, and he and I loved singing Mary’s song at Easter (the Garden) …
Enjoy this beautiful day!
How beautiful Nadya but sad about the failed attempts of Mary’s gospel. There are so many messages in every message given.
what a beautiful message.
I thought so too Barbara. Even if the SUN isn’t shining, our SON is.
I think a lot of things or situations we ‘see’ are not what they appear to be. Do you know “le petit prince’ a French book? He says you really ever see well with your heart ❤️
Yes Tamara, and I so see so much from my heart.
Beautiful post. I love that the bulletin is in Spanish because I always need to practice my Spanish. Happy Sunday.
Our church as masses in both English, mixed with Latin and Spanish Alice. I never learned Spanish but can understand some of it.
Martha, yes! Yes to all you say, and yes, there is Sonshine over all you’re saying today. You’ve brightened my already wonderful day.
I’m so glad I helped brighten your day Kebba. I know the SON is shining even when the SUN is not.
Such a good post. 🙂
Thank you Amanda.
