“He took the blind man and led him outside the village. Putting spittle on his eyes he laid his hands on the man and asked ‘Do you see anything?’ Looking up the man replied ‘I see people looking like trees and walking.’ Then he laid hands on the man’s eyes a second time and he saw clearly…Then he sent him home and said ‘Do not even go into the village.” Mark 8:23-26. St. Francis Xavier said, “It is not the actual physical exertion that counts toward a man’s progress, nor the nature of the task,
but the spirit of faith with which it is undertaken.”

Let us pray, My God, Your works are mysterious, healing within and without. You told the man, do not go into the village. Perhaps to be with family? To look within and see the magnificence of what had taken place? May we ponder often Lord, Your work within us, and give thanks. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
