Is. 29:17-24 Mt. 9:27-31
Do you believe that I can do this? Mt. 9
Blindness afflicted this community of two and they cried out for the pity of Jesus. Yet, when they approached him, it was relationship to which he was inviting them. Do you believe that I can do this? Jesus touched their eyes but the removal of blindness occurred in the transformation of their inner hearts as well. “Let it be done according to your faith.” “ And their eyes were opened.”
Cultural blindness, economic blindness, religious blindness, political blindness, intellectual blindness plague us as we struggle to show God's goodness, dispelling the gloom and darkness that envelop our societies. Let us deepen our hope in the relationship Jesus offers to us and the transformative joy, justice and peace that he promises to all creation;.
