THE MAN BORN BLIND (John 9:1-41)

The origin of all human sufferings and misfortunes is sin – both original sin and personal sin.  

This does not mean that every human affliction has as its immediate cause a corresponding sin, as if God inflicted or allowed evils to happen in direct proportation for every personal sin we commit. Rather, the biblical tradition teaches that suffering is a divine resource that can cleanse us of our imperrfections and stregthen us in virtues by uniting us with the sufferings of Christ the Redeemer Who, thought perfectly innocent, bore in himself the punishment our sins merited.
