The clay that the Lord made was not merely a substance, but a sign of the renewal of creation. For He who created man from the dust in the beginning now recreates his eyes.Likewise, the Pool of Siloam points to the mystery of baptism, where spiritual sight is opened and a person becomes a child of the light.Thus, the man who was born blind bore witness to the Lord Christ after he received sight and believed that He is the Son of God.

But those who thought they could see remained in the blindness of their hearts. For pride blinds the soul, whereas humility opens the eyes.
