Sometimes we get bogged down in the messiness of life and fail to see the presence of God in the mess. Yes, he's there and can help us see if we ask, if we believe. Todays' Gospel (Mt 9:27-31) recounts the cure of two blind men who cried out to Jesus for pity and because of their persistence and faith, were healed. It seems they had to express their faith unequivocally before Jesus acted, but seeing their sincerity and depth of faith, he touched them and said, "Let it be done for you according to your faith." (Mt 9:29). They could not see Jesus physically, but they were not blind to what he could do for them.
When the messiness in our own souls, augmented by the messiness of the world around us, blinds us, there is only ONE person who can rescue us. May our pride, or our despair not prevent us from seeing the healing power of Jesus nor prevent us from calling out to him for the help we need. He is not blind nor deaf. Why hesitate to ask?
