Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 18, 35-43
As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard a crowd going by, he asked what was happening. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” Then he shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Those who were in front sternly ordered him to be quiet; but he shouted even more loudly, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stood still and ordered the man to be brought to him; and when he came near, he asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me see again.” Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has saved you.” Immediately he regained his sight and followed him, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, praised God.
What do you want me to do for you?
1. A blind person. He was sitting on the edge of a road. He is a person without strength, but most importantly, he is without hope. He is the reflection of a person who has given up on life, who does not fight, and who walks through life indifferently, not hoping for anything or actively doing something in his life. Please think of all the experiences that you have gone through this year. Perhaps, because of everything you have been living during the year, you do not feel like walking on because so many things have happened to you that you too have become “blind.” Ask yourself today whether you are a doer or a viewer in your life.
2. Be quiet. They wanted to keep him quiet; the crowds wanted him to shut up. Perhaps the number of things you have to do today prevent you from meeting God. The lack of time we all say we have leaves no time to talk to God. You must create time to listen to God.
3. “Lord, please let me see.” Today, we ask Jesus to be able to see. Your life is a constant search for the truth, and you must learn to see what is happening around you and within you. Today, God wants to make you see that He is with you.
God bless you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Always remember, Heaven is our goal.
