Mc 8, 22-26
En aquel tiempo, Jesús y sus discípulos llegaron a Betsaida y enseguida le llevaron a Jesús un ciego y le pedían que lo tocara. Tomándolo de la mano, Jesús lo sacó del pueblo, le puso saliva en los ojos, le impuso las manos y le preguntó: "¿Ves algo?" El ciego, empezando a ver, le dijo: "Veo a la gente, como si fueran árboles que caminan".
Jesús le volvió a imponer las manos en los ojos y el hombre comenzó a ver perfectamente bien: estaba curado y veía todo con claridad. Jesús lo mandó a su casa, diciéndole: "Vete a tu casa, y si pasas por el pueblo, no se lo digas a nadie"

GospelMK 8:22-26
When Jesus and his disciples arrived at Bethsaida,
people brought to him a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village.
Putting spittle on his eyes he laid his hands on the man and asked,
“Do you see anything?”
Looking up the man replied, “I see people looking like trees and walking.”
Then he laid hands on the man’s eyes a second time and he saw clearly;
his sight was restored and he could see everything distinctly.
Then he sent him home and said, “Do not even go into the village.”

Meditacion:
Venimos leyendo en paralelo en la primera lectura el genesis, desde su comienzo hasta el diluvio universal que es la lectura de hoy. Moises espera 40 dias y despues manda, finalmente, una paloma que ya no vuelve, indicando que la tierra estaba ya seca.
En el evangelio, leemos el milagro del ciego de Betsaida. Las dos lecturas nos recuerdan lo que venimos meditando tambien, la fe y nuestra capacidad de crecer en la fe.
Ayer hablando con un padre de familia que despues de estar fuertemente involucrado en la parroquia se habia alejado un poco le decia que la fe era el mejor camino para una vida familiar feliz. Donde hay fe, no entra el demonio, no entran las adicciones, no entran los conflictos.
Cuando uno camina el camino de la fe y de la gracia, sin querer casi damos porque nos nace.
El ciego de Betsaida primero ve sombras, despues ve ya mejor. Jesus le manda (como al paralitico que leiamos los otros dias) a que no diga nada. Posiblemente estos hombres aun necesitaban hacer algunos cambios en su vida para ajustarse al milagro que habian recibido. Porque un milagro sin fe, no es milagro, es suerte.
Muchas veces sin saberlo hemos recibido milagros sin saberlo. Una relacion que no prospero, un trabajo que no salio y nos enojamos pero no sabemos de lo que Dios nos salvo en ese momento.
Y muchas veces, cuando el milagro es positivo y claro en nuestras vidas, nosotros mismos lo desestimamos por falta de fe, no vemos en ese momento la mano de Dios ayudandonos. Fe. Todo se mueve por fe de la mano de Dios hermanos.
“Jesús, Señor mío, quiero experimentar una curación completa. Muéstrame todo lo que yo diga o haga que sea un obstáculo para la curación de mi persona. Señor, ¡haz en mí tu voluntad!” Amen

We come reading in parallel in the first reading the genesis, from its beginning to the universal flood that is the reading of today. Moises waits 40 days and then sends, finally, a pigeon that does not return, indicating that the earth was already dry.
In the gospel, we read the miracle of the blind man of Bethsaida. The two readings remind us of what we have been meditating too, faith and our ability to grow in faith.
Yesterday, talking to a family man who, after being strongly involved in the parish, had gone a little way, told him that faith was the best way to a happy family life. Where there is faith, the devil does not enter, addictions do not enter, conflicts do not enter.
When one walks the path of faith and grace, without wanting we almost give because we are born.
The blind man of Bethsaida first sees shadows, then he sees better. Jesus sends him (like the paralytic we read the other days) to say nothing. Possibly these men still needed to make some changes in their lives to adjust to the miracle they had received. Because a miracle without faith, it's not a miracle, it's luck.
Many times without knowing it we have received miracles without knowing it. A relationship that did not prosper, a job that did not come out and we got angry but we do not know what God saved us in that moment.
And many times, when the miracle is positive and clear in our lives, we dismiss it for lack of faith, we do not see at that moment the hand of God helping us. Faith. Everything moves by faith of the hand of God brothers.
"Jesus, my Lord, I want to experience a complete healing. Show me everything I say or make it an obstacle to the healing of my person. Lord, do your will in me! "Amen
