Gospel
Mark 8:22-26
The blind man was cured and could see everything distinctly
Jesus and his disciples came to Bethsaida, and some people brought to him a blind man whom they begged him to touch. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. Then putting spittle on his eyes and laying his hands on him, he asked, ‘Can you see anything?’ The man, who was beginning to see, replied, ‘I can see people; they look like trees to me, but they are walking about.’ Then he laid his hands on the man’s eyes again and he saw clearly; he was cured, and he could see everything plainly and distinctly. And Jesus sent him home, saying, ‘Do not even go into the village.’
Reflection
There are two important lesson we can learn from this reading.. Firstly Christ is a compassionate person. He healed the blind man. Secondly he told the blind man not to go back to the village. He knew if the blind man did that the whole village will come expecting miracle. That will defeat the purpose because his main role is to reconcile mankind with the Father.
Let us pray
Lord Jesus make us an instrument of your love.
Amen
