The gospel today tells us about Jesus who heals two
blind men. The two blind men know with whom they meet although they were blind. They were able to see Jesus through
the eyes of faith. They asked Jesus to restore their sight. The prayer of
these two blind men was very short and simple, “have mercy on us, O Son of
David.” The prayer expresses the depth of their faith. They know who they are
dealing with.
In front of Jesus, the blind men do not ask for
anything, they do not speak many words. They humbly placed themselves as
people to be pitied. In our prayers, we often make supplications to God because
we feel we deserve it because of our goodness or merits. Sometimes we are
proud of our abilities somehow we are nothing before God. We only need to
surrender. Let us surrender ourselves to God in our prayer.
