Then they brought to him a demoniac who was blind and mute; and he cured him, so that the one who had been mute could speak and see.
THOUGHTS:
How many times am I blind to the pain and suffering of others or blind to the ways I may hurt those around me. How often am I mute when Love would ask me to speak. I tell myself I am too busy or what will others think. I leave it unsaid. It is with the strength of Christ's love for me that I dare to see and it is in the compassion Christ brings to my life that I dare to speak engaging the world.

PRAYER:
During this time of repentance help our blind eyes and muted voices to come to life as instruments of the spirit of God at work. Amen.
