virtue of the month: responsibility
RESPONSIBILITY is being freely accountable for our actions through knowing what’s right and good and striving to do our best.
Each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast with regard to himself alone, and not with regard to someone else; for each will bear his own load.
-Galatians 6:4

Living the gospel
Week of 3/22 - In our Gospel this week, we learn about the miracle of Jesus curing the blind man. After speaking with Jesus a second time, the man understands that Jesus is the Christ. Jesus proclaims to him that He is the light for the world. Jesus can bring light to the darkness, especially these dark times we're currently in. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Light!
