Gospel: Matthew 9:27-31
As Jesus
passed by, two blind men followed him, crying out, “Son of David, have pity on
us!” When he entered the house, the blind men approached him and Jesus said to
them, “Do you believe that I can do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they said to him. Then
he touched their eyes and said, “Let it be done for you according to your
faith.” And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one
knows about this.” But they went out and spread word of him through all that
land.

Reflection:
What
moves us to go to church to attend Mass? It’s our faith! When we are sick and
in need of healing; what moves us to pray and ask Jesus to heal us? It is our
deep faith! When we learn to ask with faith Jesus will certainly give it to us.
Faith is
the healing balm that we receive from God, but not everyone has this faith.
Those who have faith must do something so that those who do not have faith will
have it. And this we can do best if we learn to share our faith in Jesus and
the many miracles that He has done in our life.
The two
blind men in our gospel obviously had faith for they shouted to Jesus, “Son of
David have pity on us!” Who gave them faith? It was somebody who shared to them
Jesus and in sharing Jesus with them they slowly but surely gained faith.
Let us
also have the courage to share our faith and friendship with Jesus. For it’s in
sharing our faith that we grow in faith and it’s in sharing our faith that we
make a positive difference in the lives of others.
