Today as we celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation for our young people, the Gospel of Jesus getting "up close and personal" with the man born blind in order to heal him is fulfilled in the Sacrament we celebrate today. Each of the Sacraments involve this aspect of getting "up close and personal" -- Jesus in the person of the priest comes to us in our vulnerability, he comes in close proximity to us and gives us Himself as the remedy for our healing. May we see in the Sacraments our direct access to Jesus the Healer!
