+ Our specially chosen readings today have
to do with “restoring sight to the blind” – restoring balance, health and
well-being to the lives of those who had suffered because of their treacherous
ways. God himself will restore what was broken and afflicted: eyes, ears, the
lowly and the downtrodden – there is nothing God can’t fix – with a little
faith and trust on our part.
The gospel passage reiterates
the ability of Jesus to cure and heal – especially because he is the light of
the world; the blindness that is symbolized in the reading is that which comes
with a life lived without him – it is a very dark world; but with him – “the
lights are turned on” – like the decorations at this time of year – and “all is
calm, all is bright”!
May we today be the brightness
of the little Lord Jesus today to any who might need a “miraculous moment” of
healing and care – a radiant smile on our part can go a very long way! Be a
happy Christian! It’s time now to “tell people about this” – the moratorium is
over!
