Reflections

Jesus said to them in reply, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard, the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.”
(Luke 7:22)

When John asked if you were the Messiah, my Jesus, you pointed not to royal blood nor spectacular revelations, but to your works. You are not a political king, but a savior. John will surely understand that these healings were predicted by Isaiah.

John already knew that you were the Beloved Son and that he was unworthy to unlace your sandals. He wanted confirmation that you were the expected one. How could your answer not reassure him?

Since your Resurrection, we are privileged with knowledge of you that John did not possess, though he was greater than the prophets. You ordained for me to be born in this “end time,” when you have revealed yourself and your divine plan. I would be blind and deaf without your word. I could not walk without your grace. My soul was dead until you redeemed me. Please help me to be your witness.

This week, I will pay attention to my own healing and that of my neighbors, giving you thanks and praise.
