“As Jesus approached Jericho a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging, and hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what was happening. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” He shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!” The people walking in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent, but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have pity on me!” Then Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to him; and when he came near, Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, please let me see.” Jesus told him, “Have sight; your faith has saved you.” He immediately received his sight and followed him, giving glory to God. When they saw this, all the people gave praise to God.” -Luke 18:35-43

Such a tremendous gift of faith to cry out such a powerful prayer. The blind man did not doubt that Jesus could heal him. He let no obstacle stand in his way of reaching out to Christ.

May the Lord grant us all the same gift of faith. May we let no obstacle come between us and the Lord. May we all ask for the gift of sight, not of earthly vision, but that we may see through the eyes of the soul, for to truly see God walking with us, we must look with our hearts.

Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, pray for us.
