Gospel: Mk 8:22-26
Cure of a Blind Man of Bethsaida
Jesus and his disciples came to Bethsaida, and some people brought to him a blind man whom they begged him to touch. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. Then putting spittle on his eyes and laying his hands on him, he asked, ‘Can you see anything?’ The man, who was beginning to see, replied, ‘I can see people; they look like trees to me, but they are walking about’. Then he laid his hands on the man’s eyes again and he saw clearly; he was cured, and he could see everything plainly and distinctly. And Jesus sent him home, saying, ‘Do not even go into the village’.
Reflection
When it is dark and we need to find our way, we switch on the lights to avoid bumping into the furniture or the wall. We need light to illumine the dark so that we can see clearly our destination and so choose to walk in the correct direction. In the journey of our lives, we too need Jesus to open the eyes of our faith, so that we can see clearly our destination and plan our route that leads us there.
Do your eyes see that your final destination is with God our Father?
