You see?

Today’s readings both refer to God’s restoration of sight to the blind, but the Gospel adds our Lord’s stern warning that no one know about the healing (implicitly distancing himself from people’s inaccurate Messianic preconceptions).

Even those of us who may not be physically blind may need the Lord’s grace to heal us of intellectual, emotional, or spiritual blindness that keeps us from seeing the full beauty of God’s loving truth.
