SANCTUARY CANDLES:
The Sanctuary candles will be lit for the entire week for your intention. There are no intentions for the week of July 4-11.
The start of this encounter is in public. There are crowds round Jesus, and the blind men are caught up in the general emotion. They shout at Jesus using a formal title, ‘Son of David,’ as though he was a powerful messianic figure dispensing health to crowds. Jesus waits until he is in the house, where he can meet the blind men in person, and question their faith.
Lord, you do not meet me as one of a multitude, but face to face, on my own, where you can test the truth of my words, free from the illusions of mass emotion.
In matters of faith, we are all blind in some way. But, if I allow Jesus to touch my heart, he will help me see more clearly the path I should follow.
The blind men had faith in Jesus’ power of healing. Do I ever experience the inner healing power of God?
The blind men remind me of the need to be persistent in my prayer. Is what I ask God for now in my mind during the day? Do I look with expectation and hope to see how God is answering me? If I don’t, what might my lack of perseverance say?
I give thanks to God for those times when my eyes have been opened and ask God to lead me to appreciate truth.
