the blind see

Christ makes a deaf and dumb person hear and talk. He fulfills Isiah’s prophesy that we heard in the first reading. It must have been amazing to see Him do these miracles throughout his life. Today He continues to do these miracles, but they are harder to see. It isn’t that the deaf hear and the blind see, but rather that those of us who are blind in the things of God see, who have a hard time to recognize his voice can hear Him. And we also experience how the last part of the prophesy of Isiah is fulfilled in us, that from the desert sprouts water. Christ can bring life and redemption from us who are dry and dead. He is our Life. He is the Water that springs forth from our hearts to renew the whole world. Let Christ work these miracles in our hearts to hear his voice, to see him, and to let his life run freely through us.
