Quinquagesima Sunday 2021
In preparation for Ash Wednesday and Lent there is a review of the laws concerning fast and abstinence. Today is also the feast of St. Valentine and his impact in our own day. The Epistle for this Mass is taken from St. Paul and teaches us the importance of doing all our works, especially the upcoming penances, with purity of intention which is produced by charity. The Gospel tells of the cure of the blind man by Our Lord. We are that blind man who need God’s help to see our sinfulness and do something about it.
