Reflection (The readings are below, for your reference)
Jesus, have mercy on us! Open our eyes to this present moment, without regret for the past, without projection into the future.
Jesus, have mercy on us! Open our ears to your message of love, for ourselves, for one another, for all of creation.
Jesus, have mercy on us! Open our hearts to forgiveness and mercy.
Jesus, have mercy on us! Open our hands to give and receive your limitless generosity.
Namaste
The Readings
Micah 7:11-20
1 Peter 4:7-19
Matthew 20:29-34
As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. There were two blind men sitting by the roadside. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they shouted, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!" The crowd sternly ordered them to be quiet; but they shouted even more loudly, "Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David!" Jesus stood still and called them, saying, "What do you want me to do for you?" They said to him, "Lord, let our eyes be opened." Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately they regained their sight and followed him.
