Today's gospel 
Matthew 9:27-31 

This text presents us with two blind men who came to Jesus asking to have their eyes restored. This is indeed Great Faith as the blind men recognize  "Jesus as the "Son of David", "Jesus as Messiah. They said, 
*have mercy on us*. They cry out for healing and compassion. And Jesus asked them, *do you believe you can?*

We can turn the question to ourselves, Jesus is  asking us today, "Do you believe?" May we have faith in Jesus, that He can restore things for us, even our spiritual sight. We believe that healing comes through faith. Jesus brings physical and spiritual sight. The healed men praised Jesus. May we be grateful to God for healing powers and for other blessings we receive daily.

Let us pray

Heavenly Father,  we bring our needs and blindness to You. We trust in Your power and mercy.
Lord, open our eyes to see Your glory and power.
​Amen
