March 16, 2026 - Fourth Sunday of Lent

from Blessed Sacrament Parish Community Homilies · host Fr. Rob Howe

Fr. Rob uses the story of Jesus healing the man born blind to challenge our understanding of sin. While the disciples worried about who was to blame and the Pharisees focused on rule-breaking, Fr. Rob offers a transformative definition: sin is simply "missing the mark." Using a relatable golf analogy about his friend who missed an obvious putt, he explains that the "mark" we're all aiming for is living in and revealing God's love back to the world. This perspective shifts us from merely avoiding wrongdoing to actively seeking opportunities to love—reaching out to those who are hurting, being generous to the poor, and standing with the marginalized and scapegoated. Fr. Rob reminds us that even when we can clearly see the target of Christ's love, we sometimes still miss the mark, and that's what sin truly is.

Prayer Time Heir Waves Prayer Time A podcast especially for our Prayer Time community NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
