It is a time for reflection, sacrifice, and renewed devotion. For many in the blind and visually impaired community, however, accessing the tools for that spiritual journey can be a significant challenge. At Xavier Society for the Blind, our 126-year-old mission is simple but profound: to ensure that those with vision loss have the same access to the Word of God as their sighted peers. Our offerings are provided at no cost, worldwide, thanks to our donors' support!</span></span><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:helvetica neue,helvetica,arial,verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span></p><p style="display: block; margin-top: 13px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:helvetica neue,helvetica,arial,verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span><br></p><p style="display: block; margin-top: 13px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:helvetica neue,helvetica,arial,verdana,sans-serif;">One client who is benefitting from your generosity this Lenten season is Mary L. from Northern Ireland. A native of County Derry, Mary registered for our materials in 2020 after learning about us on Facebook. She has since received many books from us in braille, from works of poetry and books on prayer, to biographies of saints and adoration guides. Mary sent us a touching message, saying \u201cBefore I became a patron, I was not a confident braille reader, but the lovely familiarity of the Mass and the crisp raised braille cells made it easy for me to read. Having been an uncertain reader four or five years ago I'm now again a compulsive reader, and am teaching others how to read braille. You helped me gain back my ability to read - the fear of illiteracy was one of my chief fears when my eyesight declined. You gave me courage to keep reading.\u201d </span></span><br></p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><!--[if mso | IE]>

After the pandemic, Mary returned to Mass with our braille materials in tow, and her renewed faith and growing confidence had a profound impact on her son Séamus. Mary adds, \u201cAs I got involved in the Church again with your support, Séamus explored his own faith and was finally Confirmed. He wears his scapular proudly. He's gone from atheist to devout Catholic in part because of your ministry. I don't know if Séamus would have thought of faith if I hadn't been going back to Mass.\u201d Mary was very proud to be by her son\u2019s side on his Confirmation day (pictured above). She concludes, \u201cYour ministry helps not just the blind and visually impaired, but our families also.\u201d We couldn\u2019t do this without the faithful support of our benefactors. </span></span><br></p><p style="display: block; margin-top: 13px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:helvetica neue,helvetica,arial,verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span><br></p><p style="display: block; margin-top: 13px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:helvetica neue,helvetica,arial,verdana,sans-serif;">In addition to Mary, we have a lot of clients outside of the US receiving devotional materials this Lenten season.

Check out this lovely photo we received from Madre Maria of the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara. Madre Maria is assisting our young client Sebastian A. in his religious education! We recently sent Sebastian <em>The New Saint Joseph First Communion Catechism</em> in braille and look at that smile...We are so blessed to serve him as he prepares for the Sacraments at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in the Diocese of Phoenix. Thank you Madre Maria, for your dedication in making sure Sebastian has the accessible materials he needs to learn about and practice his faith. Our foundress Margaret Coffey is definitely looking down and smiling! After all, she started XSB way back in 1900 for the very purpose of providing blind and visually impaired children with accessible faith formation books. And thank you as always to all of our donors who enable us to continue our 126-year-old mission of providing these materials free-of-charge to those in need worldwide. We couldn't do it without you!</span></span></p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><!--[if mso | IE]>

As you know my grandson Patrick,12 years old was born legally blind. Over the years him and Cardinal Dolan became friends. Today my family traveled down to St. Patrick's Cathedral to attend Mass for the Xavier Society. After Mass as Cardinal Dolan came down the aisle. He saw Patrick and greeted him and then pulled him away from my daughter Melissa and holding Patrick's hand brought down the aisle to the nativity scene and explained to Patrick this display. Melissa followed them and was overcome with emotion that the Cardinal did this. It was a morning that Patrick will never forget.</span></font></span></strong></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br></p><p style="display: block; margin-top: 13px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: left; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: " helvetica="" neue",="" helvetica,="" arial,="" verdana,="" sans-serif;"="">We are so glad Patrick was there!</span></p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><!--[if mso | IE]>

On the way, he was arrested and imprisoned-an incarceration that lasted thirteen years. Despite tremendous risk, Van Thuan refused to remain passive. During his nights in prison, lie wrote encouraging messages to the Vietnamese people. These brief reflections, scribbled on scraps of paper, were smuggled out of prison, copied by hand and circulated within the community. Bishop Van Thuan was thus able to remain connected to his people in a hidden yet powerful way. <em>The Road of Hope </em>is the collection of these 1,001 messages, a true "gospel from prison," written to console and strengthen a weary people in a war-torn land. They remain the heartfelt, personal words of a father who sustained and nourished his children's desire for freedom. Today, they speak to us-an invitation to begin our own journey on the Road of Hope, leading us into our future.</p><p style="display: block; margin-top: 13px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin: 0;"><br></p><p style="display: block; margin-top: 13px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin: 0;"><strong>AUDIO: Compatible with the Talking Book Machines<em> </em>provided for free by the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled of the Library of Congress:</strong></p><p style="display: block; margin-top: 13px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin: 0;"><br></p><p style="display: block; margin-top: 13px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin: 0;">- <em>As Gold in the Furnace: The Life of Blessed Julie Billiart </em>by Sr. Mary Fidelis McManama (DBX0025): St. Julie Billiart was a French Catholic nun, educator, and cofounder of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. She was born in Cuvilly, a village in Picardy, in northern France and was paralyzed and bedridden for 22 years. Despite this, she was well known for her prayer, her embroidery skills, and her education of both the poor and the nobility, especially her work with young girls. Billiart, who was called "Mother Julie," was healed of both her paralysis and her speech and went on to found schools and homes for poor girls in France and Belgium. As of 2020, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur worked in 16 countries on five continents. Billiart died on 8 April 1816 in Namur.

Bernadette Soubirous lived with her family in the abandoned jail of the little French village of Lourdes, never dreaming that the very name of Lourdes would one day bring inspiration and hope to millions. Bernadette studied her Catechism, took care of her brothers and sisters, and gathered firewood \u2013 and no one knew she was a Saint. But one day, as she was gathering wood, Our lady appeared. Within a few weeks, thousands were kneeling in the field to pray to the Lady who could be seen and heard only by Bernadette. This was the beginning of one of the greatest Marian Shrines of modern times and of the miracles with which Our Lady blessed her children. <a data-cke-saved-href="https://app.dvcomms.net/api/Communication/Click?prm=oAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqysN0WIK6QpRD5VUsjqjHHQbmJe7IHwjJRFFRbH3-QxRQSGAsPfZcKX40peMnvcOm96VMy3jtux12rjrBSDL7lOdcr_qzjQDq3VwE-3_DKq3zRb7YhmOkX9xw31ehIWxTsA1&target=0df562dc-b7bf-4c65-bfa9-d1f681970504" href="https://app.dvcomms.net/api/Communication/Click?prm=oAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqyv_cWQp_TxWTISx_fX7lKtY6kmMjM8oafvduULsuP6qAS4ypaez24LgATmPoSkFZNsKdbR-M5hNADFKsu4dxobmpc30My2Cr3U91Usj8ZmKNzj9PNERk0haVGyIa1EyjI81&target=4c1b7098-25a6-4bb0-b918-a211fd5ca8ce" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://app.dvcomms.net/api/Communication/Click?prm%3DoAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqysN0WIK6QpRD5VUsjqjHHQbmJe7IHwjJRFFRbH3-QxRQSGAsPfZcKX40peMnvcOm96VMy3jtux12rjrBSDL7lOdcr_qzjQDq3VwE-3_DKq3zRb7YhmOkX9xw31ehIWxTsA1%26target%3D0df562dc-b7bf-4c65-bfa9-d1f681970504&source=gmail&ust=1771677259825000&usg=AOvVaw3quLqKgu14YwbOZIrAOuqM" style="text-decoration-color: none;"><strong>Click here to listen to a preview.</strong></a><br></p><p style="display: block; margin-top: 13px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin: 0;"><strong></strong><br></p><p style="display: block; margin-top: 13px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; margin: 0;"><a data-cke-saved-href="https://app.dvcomms.net/api/Communication/Click?prm=oAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqysN0WIK6QpRD5VUsjqjHHQbmJe7IHwjJRFFRbH3-QxRQSGAsPfZcKX40peMnvcOm96VMy3jtux12rjrBSDL7lOdcr_qzjQDq3VwE-3_DKq3zRb7YhmOkX9xw31ehIWxTsA1&target=0df562dc-b7bf-4c65-bfa9-d1f681970504" href="https://app.dvcomms.net/api/Communication/Click?prm=oAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqyv_cWQp_TxWTISx_fX7lKtY6kmMjM8oafvduULsuP6qAS4ypaez24LgATmPoSkFZNsKdbR-M5hNADFKsu4dxobmpc30My2Cr3U91Usj8ZmKNzj9PNERk0haVGyIa1EyjI81&target=4c1b7098-25a6-4bb0-b918-a211fd5ca8ce" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://app.dvcomms.net/api/Communication/Click?prm%3DoAlYnDQ4HhTGb6lyxcG-F5ICC6fB8llFK9GWUwWi4bNtLJ6RnzR3NynodHP1Szwf9_P9dU5THsylKhxdTR0WwnEPuzOQnuoBZjMyUYDRqysN0WIK6QpRD5VUsjqjHHQbmJe7IHwjJRFFRbH3-QxRQSGAsPfZcKX40peMnvcOm96VMy3jtux12rjrBSDL7lOdcr_qzjQDq3VwE-3_DKq3zRb7YhmOkX9xw31ehIWxTsA1%26target%3D0df562dc-b7bf-4c65-bfa9-d1f681970504&source=gmail&ust=1771677259825000&usg=AOvVaw3quLqKgu14YwbOZIrAOuqM" style="text-decoration-color: none;"><strong></strong></a><em>- Blessed are the Pure in Heart: The Beatitudes </em>by Bernard Haring (DBX0045): \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bThe Beatitudes are blessings recounted by Jesus in the Gospels, followed by four woes which mirror the blessings.
