Matthew 9: 27-38
27 As Jesus passed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying: Have mercy on us, Son of David!
28 And when he came to the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them: Do you think I can do this? They said: Yes, Lord.
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done to you.
30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus rigorously charged them, saying: See that no one knows.
31 But when they came out, they spread the news of him throughout all that land.
When reading the passage of the blind who followed Jesus asking him to heal them, I wonder how they did to follow him if they did not see. It is a shame that they, being blind, followed him and we who can see sometimes do not. Jesus knew that they had faith because they followed him without seeing him, so seeing was the only thing they lacked. If they did not need their sight to achieve what they wanted and to be successful, how much more would they have achieved since receiving their miracle?
What do we see in them that has to animate us in our daily life? ... his insistence, his tenacity; they left, and also with the assurance that Jesus can heal them. And this is how the great Faith that he displayed heals them, "Do you think I can heal you?" And they reply, "Yes, Lord!" What would our response be today? Our most important blindness is not seeing the presence of God, not seeing it in the brothers of the community, in the neighbors, in those around us, believing ourselves capable of doing everything and dominating everything, relegating God to the background.
demonstrated their faith with deeds and actions, just as we must.
So when the shortage comes, we should give thanks that perhaps that problem will become our greatest opportunity to realize our dream that we long for.
Faith must be our guide, the beacon in the midst of darkness; and love must be the boat or the vehicle that leads us to our destination, let us once again be like children who dream and who are insistent.
