Quinquagesima Sunday As Celebrated in Churches in Lancaster PA
The hymn, Amazing Grace, says, “I once was blind, but now I see.” This Sunday we will look at our spiritual perception, blinded by sin, naturally unable to know and grasp the Truth. Even Christ’s good word and teaching sometimes does as little as putting a large light in front of a blind man, assuring him that now he can see. As the blind man in this story petitions Jesus to gain his sight, so we pray this Lent that the Lord would grant us faith to open our eyes to His love for us and be renewed in our love for others. We want to follow Jesus and be an example to the churches in Lancaster PA.
