Lent 4 is also Mothering Sunday in the calendar, and the readings for Year A are 2 Corinthians 1.3-7 and the dedication of Jesus in Luke 2.

In 2 Cor 1, Paul begins this letter by exploring the inter-relation between experience affliction (tribulation), and receiving comfort from the God of all compassion. This leads both to our comforting others, knowing that (in some sense) we are sharing in the affiliations of Jesus himself, but also being formed in patient endurance as we look to him with hope.

The gospel reading for Lent 4 is the third of our encounters of Jesus, this one with the man born blind in John 9.1-41.
