Homily: 5th Sunday of Lent

As we come into the final weeks of our Lenten journey– the question on my mind is: How well do we see? Has Christ vanished from our sight? Unfortunately I think many people miss the opening line in this week’s Gospel which starts out saying some Greeks came to worship at the Passover Feast and they asked to see Jesus - and their query seems to be more than just star-crazed gentiles looking to get a glimpse of Jesus. But I would guess the answer Jesus gives them was more than they were looking for. So how can Tim Shriver, Special Olympics and Kodak help us make sense of this week’s Gospel?
