Baptism is sometimes called enlightenment. The gospel for this Sunday is the story of the man born blind healed by Christ. \u201cI was blind, now I see,\u201d declares the man. In baptism God opens our eyes to see the truth of who we are: God\u2019s beloved children. As David was anointed king of Israel, in baptism God anoints our head with oil, and calls us to bear witness to the light of Christ in our daily lives.<\/p>\n
