St. Alexander Church

Dear Friends in Faith,

🌿 Join Us for the Fourth Sunday of Lent! 🌿

As we journey through this season of reflection and renewal, we invite you to join us this weekend for Mass. Let us come together in faith and community to deepen our connection with God and one another.

Your presence would bring joy to our gathering, and we look forward to sharing this meaningful time with you.

First Reading: 1 Samuel 16:1b, 6-7, 10-13

This passage describes God's choice of David as king. The Lord instructs Samuel to anoint a new king from the sons of Jesse. While Samuel initially looks at outward appearances, God reminds him that He sees the heart. David, the youngest son, is chosen and anointed, highlighting the importance of inner qualities over external appearances and God's sovereign choice in leadership.

Second Reading: Ephesians 5:8-14

Paul encourages the Ephesians to live as children of the light, emphasizing that they were once in darkness but are now illuminated by Christ. He urges them to discern what pleases the Lord and to expose the unfruitful works of darkness. This passage is a call to transformation, encouraging believers to reflect the light of Christ in their lives and to awaken others to the truth of the Gospel.

Gospel: John 9:1-41 (The Healing of the Man Born Blind)

In this profound narrative, Jesus heals a man who had been blind from birth, demonstrating His authority as the Light of the World. The healing sparks controversy among the Pharisees, who question the legitimacy of Jesus’ actions on the Sabbath. The man’s testimony leads to a deeper exploration of spiritual blindness versus physical sight. The passage invites reflection on faith, revelation, and the transformative power of encountering Jesus.

As you prepare for the weekend, consider how these readings relate to your own journey of faith. Looking forward to sharing this blessed experience with you!

Join us for worship, reflection, and fellowship as we embrace the journey of Lent together. Let this be a time of renewal, where we can support one another as a community of disciples of Christ.

We look forward to welcoming you with open arms!

After all weekend masses, we will have a fellowship gathering in our Vision Café, where everyone is welcome to share in community and friendship.

Come, be part of our spiritual family as we walk together in faith this Lent.

As we move through this sacred season, let us embrace prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. May these practices help us to grow closer to God and one another, leading us toward the joy and hope of Easter. Wishing you all a blessed and transformative Lent!
