The story tells us that The Jews were celebrating a great feast that day and the LORD JESUS was teaching in the Temple and as HE was walking out of the Temple He saw a man who was born blind

The LORD JESUS stood by the borne blind man and said “John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.”  To give proof for that HE spat on the ground and made clay, put the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam.” So he went off and washed, and returned able to see.

Today we celebrate Baptismal Sunday, on this day in the early church, baptize the catechumens who are ready for baptism before the Great Week of the Passion to join the Church and participate in the week of the Passion and the Feast of Easter.

You might say thank God I was baptized and became a son of the Lord or a daughter of the Lord and the light entered me. But hear our teacher St Paul the Apostle tell you what.

 Walk in? …CHRIST JESUS…. Walk in the light…. Walk as children of GOD. Baptism is the beginning – this is the beginning – in baptism remain the son of light, do not turn back, and throw yourself into the darkness. Never again walk in the dark

Today is a feast. We call it the Sunday of light, May God grant us the heavenly light, so that we may live as children of light, and not as children of darkness.
