Advent Sight!

In Matthew 9:27-31, Jesus heals two blind men. When the mean approached Jesus, he asked them, "Do you believe that I can do this?" "Yes, Lord," they said to him. Then Jesus touched their eyes and said, "Let it be done for you according to your faith." Their eyes were opened and they were able to see. Of course, Jesus tells the men at the conclusion of the gospel not to tell anyone about what happened and what did they do? They went and spread the word about him. An early form of evangelization, which we are all called to do. We need to proclaim the Good News about Jesus and help others, as we prepare ourselves, for his second coming in glory. We can also think about the miracle that occured in the gospel. We know there is physical blindness but there is also spiritual blindness. The eyes of faith go dim or they lose sight altogether. This is a beautiful time for us to regain our sight when it comes to the eyes of faith. During Advent, we are preparing ourselves for the coming of Christ and we do so with the gifts that we recently heard about from Blessed John Paul II, "Vigilance, Prayer and Conversion." God gives us the grace that we need to live our lives and our faith. What do you want Jesus to do for you? Do we have the faith to be accepting of the gifts that we receive? Allow the Lord to touch our minds, hearts, and eyes so that we can be open to the gift of Advent sight! Blessings to you!!!
