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 are you willing to do to receive
healing from God? Are you willing to humble yourself and kneel before God and
ask Him to give you the gift of healing? Healing is a gift that Jesus freely
gives to those who have faith. Even if you will not ask for it Jesus will give
it to you for as long as you humble yourself and have faith in front of Him.
In the gospel for this Friday we have two
humble blind men with rock-solid faith who cried to the Lord for healing.
Why did they cry when they could have shouted at Jesus to get His attention?
They cried because they felt hope, mercy and healing from Jesus. For the two
blind men Jesus was their only hope to have the gift of sight.
Let us also ask Jesus to give us the gift
of Healing for nothing is impossible for those who believe and humble
themselves before God. Even the impossible is very much possible for as long as
we have faith.
Whatever that you’re going through right
now, believe that Jesus will heal you. And believe that He will answer your
prayers for nothing is impossible for Jesus. This is best exemplified by the
two incredible blind men of deep faith in our gospel.
How’s your faith in the Lord? - Marino J.
