Daily Gospel: Matthew 9:27-31
As Jesus passed by, two blind men followed him, crying out, “Son of David, have pity on us!” When he entered the house, the blind men approached him and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I can do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they said to him. Then he touched their eyes and said, “Let it be done for you according to your faith.” And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” But they went out and spread word of him through all that land.
Reflection: A Leap of Faith
Today's gospel reading, from Matthew 9:27-31, recounts the story of two blind men who cry out to Jesus for healing. It's truly inspiring their unwavering faith, despite their disability. They believed in Jesus' power to heal them, and their belief was rewarded.
On a personal level, I can relate to this story. There have been many times in my life when I've felt lost and unable to see clearly, much like the blind men in the gospel. During these difficult moments, I've turned my eyes to Jesus, looking for guidance and strength.
It reminds me of the profound importance of faith. A faith so deep that it abides in the trust of Jesus' power to heal. This kind of faith that is essential to guide us through the stormy seas and to anchor us to the ground amidst many challenges and trials in our life.
I'm also grateful for the gift of sight, both physical and spiritual. May we all strive to have the faith of the two blind men, and to trust in God's love and divine intervention.
