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 are
we willing to do to have faith? Are we willing to humble ourselves and kneel
before God and ask Him to give us the gift of faith? Faith is a gift that Jesus
freely gives to the humble. Even if you will not ask for it Jesus will give it
to you for as long as you humble yourself in front of Him.
In the
gospel for this Friday we have two humble blind men who cried to Jesus for compassion.
Why did they cry when they could have
shouted at Jesus to get His attention? They cried because they saw hope and
mercy in 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 Hope and faith for nothing is impossible
for those who humble themselves before God. Even the impossible is now very much
possible for as long as we have faith.
Whatever
we’re going through right now, believe that Jesus will heal us. And believe that
He will answer our pleas 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 Jesus? - Marino J. Dasmarinas
