Lectio: Mt 9.27-31              

Meditatio: “Then he [Jesus] touched their eyes and said, ‘Let it be done for you according to your faith’.” Mt 9.29  

Oratio: O God, what power Your Son has and He readily uses it for our benefit!

I remember Jesus healed two blind men by a simple touch of their eyes because they had faith in Him - wow!                 

Grant that I may be always mindful of the power of touch and especially the touch of Jesus and seek His help in faith and allow Him to respond as He sees best.

I ask this and all things in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You
and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Contemplatio: spend some time in silence and meditate on the selected passage and hear what
God is saying to you.

Operatio: reflect: "touched...eyes ... done"; the two blind men both expressed their faith in Jesus that He could heal them and Jesus did what is still beyond modern doctors’ ability and restored their sight by a simple touch.  In prayer seek the grace for a strong faith, a faith of a child - and know that touch is so powerful especially done in Jesus’ name and allow Jesus to use you as His instrument of healing.        

Tomorrow's reading: Mt 9.35-10,1, 5a. 6-8
