Cleansing Our Senses - Fr. Micah - May 25, 2025

Description: In today’s Gospel reading, Christ gives sight to the blind man, which Fr. Micah relates to our own blindness. In the fall, there was a blindness that came into creation — not only an inability to see God, but to see his image in our neighbor.When we are baptized, we are given new eyes, just as Christ gave the blind man new eyes. And yet, because of the passions, which are rooted in self-love, we still struggle to see him in our lives. As the Resurrection canon says, we must “cleanse our senses.” Fr. Micah addresses each of the five senses, contrasting how we should and shouldn’t use them to prepare ourselves to be able to experience the Kingdom of God.
