Take the Gospel to prayer:
I have to be honest - I take this letter to prayer when I sit to pull it together because I know that I am merely a pilgrim on the road like all of us are. I am mentioning this because I want to put that spin on today's Gospel.
Jesus told the blind men: “Let it be done for you according to your faith.” He conditioned the miracle on the participation of their faith. So it is with the impact of this newsletter with our lives. Its usefulness is contingent upon the effort that we put into engaging with the content.
Jesus asked the blind if they believed they could be healed. The question before each of us is: Do I believe that I can be transformed by God's grace? God seeks our cooperation according to our faith. Every bit of time and energy, no matter how small, that we invest in our relationship with God compounds our growth.
So let us not be distracted by the obstacles in our path. Stay committed to prayer and good works.
Lord Jesus, You are rock. Help me to grow closer to You every day.
