Mt 9, 27-31
Cuando Jesús salía de Cafarnaúm, lo siguieron dos ciegos, que gritaban: “¡Hijo de David, compadécete de nosotros!” Al entrar Jesús en la casa, se le acercaron los ciegos y Jesús les preguntó: “¿Creen que puedo hacerlo?” Ellos le contestaron: “Sí, Señor”. Entonces les tocó los ojos, diciendo: “Que se haga en ustedes conforme a su fe”. Y se les abrieron los ojos. Jesús les advirtió severamente: “Que nadie lo sepa”. Pero ellos, al salir, divulgaron su fama por toda la región.

GospelMT 9:27-31
As Jesus passed by, two blind men followed him, crying out,
"Son of David, have pity on us!"
When he entered the house,
the blind men approached him and Jesus said to them,
"Do you believe that I can do this?"
"Yes, Lord," they said to him.
Then he touched their eyes and said,
"Let it be done for you according to your faith."
And their eyes were opened.
Jesus warned them sternly,
"See that no one knows about this."
But they went out and spread word of him through all that land.
"Son of David, have pity on us!"
When he entered the house,
the blind men approached him and Jesus said to them,
"Do you believe that I can do this?"
"Yes, Lord," they said to him.
Then he touched their eyes and said,
"Let it be done for you according to your faith."
And their eyes were opened.
Jesus warned them sternly,
"See that no one knows about this."
But they went out and spread word of him through all that land.

Meditacion:
Hoy leemos de "La palabra entre nosotros":
"iglos antes de la venida de Cristo, el profeta Isaías había dicho que en los tiempos mesiánicos se verían por todas partes los prodigios del Señor: “Los ojos de los ciegos verán sin tinieblas ni oscuridad” (Isaías 29, 18). La curación de los ciegos sería sin duda una obra divina, no humana; aunque para ser realidad, todos tendrían que creer y estar dispuestos a aceptar esa acción.
Por eso Jesús atendió a los ciegos que a viva voz le pedían piedad al “Hijo de David”, título mesiánico que señalaba en él la presencia de Dios. Antes de actuar, Cristo les preguntó: “¿Creen que puedo hacerlo?” porque era preciso que tuvieran fe para poder ver, ya que su vista dependía de la firmeza de su fe: “Que se haga en ustedes conforme a su fe” (Mateo 9, 28-29). ¡Qué hecho tan impresionante y asombroso!
Sin embargo, es probable que nosotros nos sintamos tocados porque los ciegos recuperaron la vista, pero ¿nos sentimos también movidos a imitar su fe en Cristo? El Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica dice que “La fe es un don gratuito que Dios hace al hombre”, pero que podemos perderla, por eso “debemos alimentarla con la Palabra de Dios” (CIC 162). Jesús ha inaugurado el Reino de Dios y los milagros y maravillas que vemos en los relatos de los Evangelios y los demás escritos del Nuevo Testamento son pruebas de que el Reino está entre nosotros.
Pero no siempre esperamos que el Señor actúe en nuestra vida. Las experiencias tenidas en la vida, muchas de ellas buenas, pero otras no tanto, han condicionado nuestro entendimiento y nuestras actitudes al punto de que muchas veces tendemos más a la incredulidad que a la fe. Vamos a Misa y hacemos oraciones, pero lo hacemos muchas veces en forma rutinaria y mecánica, sin realmente ver la dimensión espiritual en lo que estamos haciendo.
Pero el Señor vino a salvarnos y quiere completar su obra en todos sus fieles. Presentémosle hoy nuestro corazón abierto y dejemos que el Reino de Dios eche raíces en nosotros. Reconozcamos su poder leyendo en la Escritura las maravillas que realizó el Señor en la tierra y aceptemos lo que la Iglesia nos ha enseñado a través de los siglos. Luego, actuemos por fe.
“Señor Jesús, tú que eres la luz del mundo, ilumina nuestra oscuridad y fortalece nuestra fe, te lo rogamos.” Amen"

Today we read of "The word among us":
"Even before the coming of Christ, the prophet Isaiah had said that in the messianic times the prodigies of the Lord would be seen everywhere:" The eyes of the blind will see without darkness or darkness "(Isaiah 29, 18). Healing of the blind would undoubtedly be a divine work, not human; although to be a reality, everyone would have to believe and be willing to accept that action.
That is why Jesus attended to the blind who in a loud voice asked for mercy on the "Son of David", a messianic title that indicated in him the presence of God. Before acting, Christ asked them: "Do you think I can do it?" Because it was necessary that you had faith to be able to see, since your sight depended on the firmness of your faith: "That it be done in you according to your faith" ( Matthew 9, 28-29). What an impressive and amazing fact!
However, we are likely to feel touched because the blind recovered their sight, but are we also moved to imitate their faith in Christ? The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that "Faith is a free gift that God makes to man", but we can lose it, so "we must feed it with the Word of God" (CCC 162). Jesus has inaugurated the Kingdom of God and the miracles and wonders we see in the Gospel accounts and the other New Testament writings are proof that the Kingdom is among us.
But we do not always expect the Lord to act in our lives. The experiences in life, many of them good, but others not so much, have conditioned our understanding and our attitudes to the point that many times we tend more to disbelief than to faith. We go to Mass and make prayers, but we do it many times in a routine and mechanical way, without really seeing the spiritual dimension in what we are doing.
But the Lord came to save us and wants to complete his work in all his faithful. Let us present our open heart today and let the Kingdom of God take root in us. Let us recognize his power by reading in the Scriptures the wonders that the Lord performed on earth and accept what the Church has taught us through the centuries. Then, let's act by faith.
"Lord Jesus, you who are the light of the world, illuminate our darkness and strengthen our faith, we beg you." Amen "
