Reflection
Today’s Gospel story, like many of the cures of Jesus, seems to have rested on the faith of those who needed the cure. “According to your faith, be it done.”
If we need changes in our lives, do we believe that God can make those changes?

Scripture
Matthew 9:27-31 WEB
As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying,
“Have mercy on us, son of David!”
When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him.
Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
They told him, “Yes, Lord.”
Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”
Then their eyes were opened.
Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”
But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
Conversation: Talk to Jesus in your own words as a friend
Final Prayer: End with a formal prayer such as the Lord’s Prayer/Our Father.
