Something was fishy in Mass today. Our set of readings concluded with the Gospel from John 9 on Spiritual Blindness:

As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?

"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life. As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world


Etc.

Wanting to look at the passage again, I went online to look for it and discovered that today's reading was supposed to have been on the parable of the prodigal son, Luke 15.

I'm not on hallucinogens I swear, so can someone else who went to Church today please tell me what's going on. Father Joe's not the most organized person in the world, but I find it somewhat hard to believe that he would prepare a sermon for the wrong set of readings. For Sunday Mass. In Lent.
