SAVED BY JESUS

Mark 10: 46-52

I believe that we see the people cry out everywhere. Around our house in Bangkok, there are a lot of people cry out for many reasons: drug, good life, good feature, asking help, angry and many other reasons. We can say that there are two kinds of crying: for good and for bed. In this reflection, I want to go deep in the crying for good things.

In today’s Gospel, we read the blind man cry out for Jesus. He doesn’t see Jesus but he knows Jesus is passing by. This is the reason why he cries. He wants to see Him. He believes that Jesus can open his eyes. Jesus recognises how large the faith of this man. “Your faith saved you.”

Can we say to others, “Your faith saved you?” For me, I never say it. Maybe it could be for you also. Sometimes, I find myself like the disciples: blind to see the reality around me. I listen but I don’t care about it. I become blind in faith.

Let us pray to the Lord so that we can let Him open our heart to recognise Him in our daily life.

Happy Sunday.
