Readings: Isaiah
35: 1-6a, 10; James 5: 7-10; Matthew 11: 2-11
Selected Text: 4 Jesus
said to them in reply, "Go and tell John what you hear and see: 5 * the
blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear,
the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them. 6 And
blessed is the one who takes no offense at me." (Matthew 11: 4-6)
Meditation: We need
new eye sight to heed the signs that point to the presence of the reign of God
in our midst – “the blind regain their sight; the lame walk; lepers are
cleansed; the deaf hear; the dead are raised; and the poor have the good news
proclaimed to them.” These are the signs that God’s saving work is underway, in
the here and now. And through our good works, especially our concrete sharing
of our time, talents and treasure with those in need make the reign of God
present in our midst. Cf. www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
