They took the man who was previously blind to the Pharisees. It was the Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. The Pharisees began to ask him how he could see again.
He said to them ‘He put mud on my eyes and I washed myself and I now see.’
Then some of the Pharisees said: ‘He is not from God – this man – 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 asked the blind man again: ‘What do you say about him, on the basis that he opened your eyes?’ He said ‘He is a prophet.’
O Love, O God who created me, in your love recreate me.
O Love, who redeemed me,
fill up in me whatever part of your love
has fallen into neglect within me.
O Love, O God, who first loved me,
grant that with my whole heart,
and with my whole soul,
and with my whole strength,
I may love you.
