Bishop Richard Malone traveled to Batavia Wednesday morning to celebrate Catholic Schools at St. Joseph’s Church.
Students from St. Joseph’s School and Notre Dame High School attended the mass along with parishioners.
The Bishop delivered the Homily and talked to students about the Gospel reading:
“The Blind Man at Bethsaida”
When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then He spit on the man’s eyes and placed His hands on him. “Can you see anything?” He asked.
The man looked up and said, “I can see the people, but they look like trees walking around.”
Once again Jesus placed His hands on the man’s eyes, and when he opened them his sight was restored, and he could see everything clearly. Jesus sent him home and said, “Do not go back into the village.”
