Friends:
We continue with the great symbols of the Gospel of John. On this occasion, we are presented with the account of the healing of the blind man and speak of Jesus as light. Not all the shadows of the current times can be ignored, with new conflicts added to those already existing, but I encourage you to look for the points of light in our lives.
Undoubtedly, we agree with the evangelist that Jesus is a light and beacon for us who guides us. And we meet him in our reflection communities around the word, in our moments of serene meditation, and when we meet weekly on this portal, where commentators, authors, and volunteers provide their best effort to know Jesus in freedom, without legalism and without emotional bombardments.
Allow me to tell you in advance that in June 2026 we will celebrate the XX Anniversary of the Fe Adulta portal and we are preparing many improvements and some meetings. We hope to surprise you with surprises in the coming weeks.
And we already have the new book by Fray Marcos:What do they have to save me from? Who has to save me? It is available in regular bookstores and in the online store.
There is a new entry in the Notice Board.
Gospel and Comments on the Gospel
Jn 9, 1-38. As he passed by, Jesus saw a man blind from birth.
Miguel Ángel Munárriz: Walking in the twilight. To what light should I turn to walk through life?
José Luis Sicre: The case of the condemned witness. The fourth gospel proposes the symbol of light to express what Jesus gives us. Last week he used the symbolism of water and next week he will use that of life.
Enrique Martínez Lozano: Everything is ventilated in seeing. There will be no real transformation while we do not adjust our vision, while we do not understand what we truly are.
Fray Marcos: Jesus is light. The blind man went from darkness and misery to being a complete man.
Fidel Aizpurúa: Who he is, so that one may believe in him. How to have an experience of Jesus to be able to speak of him? How to reach that personal experience of Jesus?
José Antonio Pagola: Witness to the truth. There is a trait that defines Jesus and configures all his actions: his will to live in the truth.
Carmiña Navia Velasco: The Sabbath was made for man. I am constantly impressed by seeing how ecclesiastical paths have completely distorted the essential message of the Master of Galilee and have turned man against the Sabbath.
Selected Articles for the Week
Amelia Hidalgo: Lent. Wouldn’t this be a Lent full of joy for experiencing the consequences of giving oneself? Wouldn’t we arrive at Easter in harmony with the Spirit of Jesus?
Jesús Lozano Pino: Damned Wars: The geopolitics of testosterone. Ethics, the only tool we have to survive war. If you use violence to achieve “peace,” what you obtain is not peace, but a parenthesis of silence imposed by terror, a seed that will germinate into hatred for the next generation.
7 Margins: The Global Anglicans break with the Anglican Communion, but leave the door open to avoid schism
The new Global Anglican Communion, established mainly in sub-Saharan Africa, aims to be the great conservative reformist movement within Anglicanism, reaffirming its break with Canterbury.
Jesús Bastante: Goodbye to 700 years of uninterrupted religious life in Belorado. Emotionalism and spiritual abuse, or how bishops try not to be late. The reform of Cobo from the seminaries reaches Rome, and the Vatican visits the scenes of the Pope’s visit to Spain. Prevost, Trump and the ‘American friend’.
Digital Religion: ‘From the dinghy to heaven’: the story of the priest who arrived in Cayuco, and today works for the integration of migrants in Zamora. The Club La Opinión-El Correo de Zamora hosts a conversation with Bishop Fernando Valera this Tuesday, along with an intervention by Father Kenneth Chukwuwa, priest and founder of the NGO Hope Emeka.
Riccardo Benotti: Bishops from all over the world join the Pope in his condemnation of the attack by the US and Israel on Iran. From the Persian Gulf to Australia, from the United States to Latin America, prelates from around the world demand an end to the escalation of violence, the protection of civilians, and the return of diplomacy to its role, as highlighted by Leo XIV.
Miguel Ángel Mesa: Another Christianity is possible. This is how the Church that wants to follow the elder brother should be: a community of communities, poor and for the poor, Samaritan, non-exclusive, joyful, and prophetic, always on the frontier.
Jaume Patuel Puig: Euxodia and euthanasia. There is no nation that has approved euthanasia with an existential context. It seems there is a great fear of losing control over any citizen’s decision about the moment of death.
In-depth News. Cardinal Cupich denounces the White House’s ‘spectacle war’ against Iran.
For more participatory and current Eucharists
Samuel 16, 1-13. How long will you mourn for Saul, after I have rejected him so that he may not reign over Israel?
Ephesians 5, 8-14. In another time you were darkness, now you are light in the Lord.
Florentino Ulibarri: Put your hand on my eyes. So that they may see, to see life again and be able to look beyond.
Vicky Irigaray: 4th Sunday of Lent. Jesus is light for those who recognize our darkness and the need to be illuminated.
Anaphora: Responsibility. God does not perform miracles, but we can and must do them.
Benedictine Nuns of Montserrat. 4th Sunday of Lent.

Non-surrender, hardens. By Eckhart Tolle. Non-surrender hardens your psychological form, the shell of the ego, thus creating a strong feeling of separation…
Pray with the Pope for Disarmament and Peace. March 2026. There are conflicts and tensions that put life and coexistence between peoples at risk, and which can extend for years if the path of dialogue and reconciliation is not chosen. Pope Leo, in his prayer intention for March, invites us to pray that nations renounce arms, adopt diplomacy and justice, and seek true security based on trust and solidarity among peoples.
Salomé Arricibita: Wash my eyes with mud. Invited to renew our gaze, to look with the heart. To let ourselves be touched, to know ourselves as clay… but inhabited by the Spirit of God. Presentation by Lenin Cárdenas.
The Invisible Girl. The Invisible Girl is an emotional song about the wounded inner child who grew up unseen, without hugs, and without feeling enough. This is a call to look at yourself with compassion, heal your wounds, and reinvent your Being, from self-love and awareness.
Equipo Quiero Ver: Stop looking in order to see. We live in the age of the image, but paradoxically, we are the generation that “sees” the least. We look at screens, we look at trends, we look to see if we get likes… but the blind man of the Gospel represents us when we are enclosed in our own world. Blindness today is not lacking sight; it is having one’s heart on “energy-saving mode” or anesthetized.
Only in God. By Ain Karem. No one or anything external has to come to save you, ONLY! You must be born again and… Only in God does my soul rest!! Precious song-meditation.
In the EFFA School we facilitate the link to the curriculum where all available talks and bibliography are located, for those who could not watch them or wish to review any again. The link to access the latest uploaded videos may also be useful.
And, as I promised you, the letters will end with these three links: the letter of the week, last week’s letter, and letters from other weeks.. If someone loses -or has not received- the email with the news, they can use an old letter to access the new one.
A hug,
Inma Calvo
