Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Blindness” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus cured the two blind men, who had faith in Him. Ponder on, “’Emotional Blindness’ is our self-centred pride. But, ‘Spiritual blindness’ is the worst form of blindness. This is when we do not value our faith and relationship with God. Thus, we will lose the true meaning and purpose of our lives”.
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 9:27-31
As Jesus went on his way two blind men followed him shouting, ‘Take pity on us, son of David.’ And when Jesus reached the house the blind men came up to him and he said to them, ‘Do you believe I can do this?’ They said, ‘Lord, we do.’
Then he touched their eyes saying, ‘According to your faith, let it be done to you.’ And their sight returned. Then Jesus sternly warned them, ‘Take care that no one learns about this.’ But when they had gone away, they talked about him all over the countryside.
