Gospel Reflection

In today’s Gospel, Matthew 9:27-31, Jesus heals two blind men who cry out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” Jesus asks them if they believe He can do this, and when they answer affirmatively, He touches them and they regain their sight. This miracle shows the power of Jesus’ faith and compassion.

Purpose for the day

Today, exercise your faith in Jesus’ compassion and power. Spend time praying for your needs and the needs of others, trusting that Jesus hears and answers our pleas with love.
