“Hope – In His Healing”
©2018 James Dacey, Jr. OFS
My Friends,
Today’s Gospel: Matthew 9:27-31 (Healing Two Blind Men)
“And as Jesus passed on from
there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, "Have mercy on us, Son of
David." When he entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus
said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said
to him, "Yes, Lord." Then he touched their eyes, saying,
"According to your faith be it done to you." And their eyes were
opened. And Jesus sternly charged them, "See that no one knows it."
But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.”
Reflection:
Today we look at yet another fantastic miracle of healing. Like the clay was molded and blessed through God’s hand in creation; Jesus touched the eyes of those blind and healed them. These two men cried out to Jesus in HOPE of His mercy and His healing. Without hesitation Jesus entered into their home and spoke to them and healed them. Do you recognize God’s power and mercy, even before the healing? In our HOPE and trust in Him, let us keep our eyes open to His healing power. It is Jesus who restores us; both physically in the functions of our body, and spiritually in the focus of our Spirit.
As the blind-spots in our lives cover up our view of God’s healing power, we must call after Him and beg Him to open our eyes- our Spiritual eyes. Yes, we may see Him, but without knowing Him- who He is and why He is here; we may be blinded by our lack of knowledge. In His compassion for us, it is obvious in many of our lives that our Lord blesses our lives in so many ways. Through our faith and with the help of the Holy Spirit we will see Him, more and more clearly as we get to know Him.
God wants us to draw ever so close to Him, to see Him. Living a life in the HOPE that we do that and that makes for an exciting life filled with Jesus. Consider the life these two blind men lived, in utter darkness; thinking about and waiting for Jesus. And when Jesus was near, even without seeing Him, they were seeking His Mercy and His Healing, and their HOPE in His loving power to Heal was very real for these two men. They knew that it was only through Jesus that they would be healed, and through their lives they must have been listening and waiting for Him; just knowing that through their faith, they’d know the right time to cry out for Him, even though they couldn’t visually see Him. That’s the kind of faith we should all be living every day. Does that make sense? We should live our faith filled life like these two blind men did.
