Evening: Psalms 124, 125, 126; John 9:18-41
Matters of faith are especially prone to misunderstandings ... People get stuck in rigid ideas and cannot see beyond them to different perspectives. Religious teachers proclaim as certainties things that are beyond our knowing. Jesus shows - by his words and actions - that wisdom lies in remaining open to other ways of seeing the world and the faith. He only wishes that we be: slow to accuse others of error, unbelief or malice; and, quick to admit our own errors, to welcome different perspectives, to repent of our judgements of others and to forgive.
