Healing by Christ of the Man by the Pool is a Foretelling of Our Spiritual Life. It is an Important Lesson During the Lenten Season

 

Today’s Gospel is well known to many Christians.

John tells us about the healing by Christ of the man by the pool. The Church selects this scripture as a reminder that we are all cleaned and healed in the pool of water at our Baptism. Baptism can only be done once, and it is permanent. However, it has little value if we do not do something.

Hear what the Church teaches us on this day and during the Lenten Season.

Note:

Its mid-March and the outside Mass Season has begun.  In early spring, at times, the wind outside is picked up by the mics.  Have patience with the recording.
