The theme of this year’s Lenten midweek prayer is “Holy Conversations with Jesus.” The Sunday lectionary for Lent reveals Jesus in conversation with friends, foreigners, and even adversaries. In tonight’s reading from John, Jesus encounters a man who was blind from birth. Born without sight the nameless man became first a topic of conversation, later a witness of conversion. We are often surprised by fellows we meet along life’s pathways, and sometimes the people we meet surprise us more than we expect by leaving us transformed with new vision.
