III. The Gospel of John 9:1-41 was read by the Vice President Sis. Fe Umlas. It
was about a man born blind and was healed by Jesus on a Sabbath. The faith
of the blind man healed him.

IV. Bro. Marianito gave the reflection:

“Faith is best understood if we look it in the eyes of faith rather than the
eyes of reason. Our faith will help us understand what our reasoning
cannot explain. Sometimes the blinds see more than those who can see
because their faith in God is strong and they let the power of God work on
their lives.”
