When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, he found him and said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?” He answered and said, “Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?” Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, the one speaking with you is he.” He said, “I do believe, Lord,” and he worshiped him. Then Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see might see, and those who do see might become blind.” (John 9:35-39)

Jesus is always with the outcasts—when the man born blind was thrown out, Jesus went to find him.  It's amazing that as long as he was blind the man had no problems.  But once his eyes were opened, he gets thrown out of his religious community.  May the Lord open our eyes during these difficult times to see the world through the Compassionate Eyes of Christ.
