This morning's Gospel reading at Mass was taken from John 9. The story about Jesus opening the eyes of the man blind from birth is just beautiful. Jesus declared himself to be the light of the world and then made the blind man see. We can ask the Lord to shine his light on our hearts too to remove any blind spots he sees.
As Jesus made it clear to the Pharisees later on, true seeing is not seeing with our eyes ~ it's seeing with the heart. We can have perfect vision and still be blind to the truth. O Lord, shine your light upon us so that we may be cleansed of our sins.
