Prayers of SVD
May the darkness of sin
and the night of unbelief vanish before the light of the Word
and the Spirit of grace
and may the Heart of Jesus live
in the hearts of all people.

Now I see
"One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see” - John 9:25.
This passage is really important to understand how we consider people with big physical disabilities. In the past, people’s opinion was that these people were guilty and that they deserve their illness.
Jesus said that he came among the humans to help people to solve their big problems and judge people. So that they believe and are able to live a life full of happiness. People think they are healthy because they are without sins.
The focus is on believing in the Lord. If you follow the faith in God you can face every problem. A man without faith is like a leaf that the wind blows. It can go everywhere especially where there aren’t love and happiness. In other words: in a situation where God is not present.
Another interpretation could be that every human is born blind and only when he starts to follow the Lord, and through sacraments, he starts to see the light given by the faith and love in God. The Lord gift us every kind of present. We have to keep the focus on growing love inside us and spread the word of God worldwide in order to get our life to the fullest possible.
The key word here is FAITH. Believe in love, happiness, positive mindset. It give us the opportunity to become the expression of God in the world. Amen
