 They came to Bethsaida. Some people brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; and when he had put saliva on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Can you see anything?†And the man looked up and said, “I can see people, but they look like trees, walking.†Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he looked intently and his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. Then he sent him away to his home, saying, “Do not even go into the village.â€

Thank you Barbara for your reflection on the gospel. I am reminded how often someone held my hand in Christ and brought me to a new understanding of my blindness with compassion and love.
Blessings on you Barbara and your preaching,
Brigid, OP
