John's disciples said to Jesus, "Are you 'He who is to come' or do we look for another?" In reply, Jesus said: "Tell John what you hear and see: the blind recover their sight, cripples walk, lepers are cured, and the poor have good news preached to them..." Lk. 3:10
Third Week of Advent
O Jesus,
I rejoice at the signs that say you are near. Your power is everywhere
if I could see it.
Yet my
eyes often see only darkness and what has yet to be done.
I believe
in you, yet when I look around evil seems so strong and goodness so
weak.
If you have come, why is there still so much suffering and why
do the poor still despair?
Where are your miracles today?
Your
grace, O Lord, is more fruitful in my world than I imagine.
I know your
power is everywhere around me, if I could only see it.
Show me today
where the blind see and cripples walk.
Make
my vision sharper than it is.
