Daily Thoughts - Make God Known.
1292 The practice of the Eastern Churches gives greater emphasis to the unity of Christian initiation. That of the Latin Church more clearly expresses the communion of the new Christian with the bishop as guarantor and servant of the unity, catholicity and apostolicity of his Church, and hence the connection with the apostolic origins of Christ's Church.

God or man. I sit with the blind man this morning and see what he sees. Vision can complicate our lives if God is not its focus. The blind man conveys his conviction when he calls out to the Son of David. The words that he heard painted the image of God, the richness of scripture gave him the desire for God. The words also painted the cruelness of man. All he had was his imagination and it was this gift of physical blindness that brought him to Christ.
Do we recognize the groaning of our hearts and who truly gives us peace? The blind man new the Son of David long before he encountered Him in person. The relationship had been established in the quietness of his heart as he journeyed thru life. Be attentive to the groaning of your heart and come to know that it is only God that will satisfy it.
Dear Father, I thank You for my blindness at times, not really knowing and drawing me closer to You. I thank You for spiritual sight, to sit in Your presence and to be fed with the gift of You. Prepare us for this day that our hearts are only satisfied by You. Prayers for a world that sees yet does not know You. May we be a pleasing offering in Your sight. Love Your son.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
St Patrick, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
