Send us Fan MailWhat if the real blindness in your life isn’t physical, but spiritual?In this episode of Rebel Saints, we reflect on the Fourth Sunday of Lent (Laetare Sunday, Year A) and the powerful Gospel of the man born blind (John 9:1–41). Jesus declares, “I am the light of the world,” and reveals that true sight comes not just from seeing—but from encountering Him.We also dive into the life of Saint Maximilian Kolbe, whose radical sacrifice in Auschwitz became a living witness to Christ’s light shining in the darkest place imaginable.This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, searching, or spiritually blind—and is ready to step into the light.References & Further ReadingSacred Scripture: John 9:1-41; 1 Samuel 16:1b, 6-7, 10-13a; Ephesians 5:8-14; Psalm 23 (NABRE)Catechism of the Catholic Church: CCC 1243 (Baptism as enlightenment); CCC 2447 (Works of mercy)Saint Maximilian Kolbe: Vatican canonization biography (vatican.va); eyewitness accounts from Franciszek Gajowniczek and Bruno Borgowiec (Church-approved sources)Liturgical: USCCB readings for March 15, 2026 (usccb.org)Support the Journey: Help other restless hearts find us!
