We read the book of Tobit at Holy Mass this week.
Tobit had been blinded because bird droppings fell in his eyes. The even-more-serious problem he had was that he could hardly get along with his wife.
Meanwhile, as we read, young Sara had problems of her own. The question we hear the Sadducees ask the Lord in the gospel about the seven dead husbands of one woman was no pure hypothetical. They were asking Him about Sara’s case.
Anyone remember who the hero of the book of Tobit is?
Here’s a hint: It’s the name of the first parish I was ever assigned to, back when I was young like Kyle.
