Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. - Mark Twain: (1835 – 1910: known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer.
Gospel Text: (MK 8:22-26)
When Jesus and his disciples arrived at Bethsaida,
people brought to him a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village.
Putting spittle on his eyes he laid his hands on the man and asked,
“Do you see anything?”
Looking up the man replied, “I see people looking like trees and walking.”
Then he laid hands on the man’s eyes a second time and he saw clearly;
his sight was restored and he could see everything distinctly.
Then he sent him home and said, “Do not even go into the village.”

Reflect, today, upon this blind man. Ponder this twofold healing and twofold conversion the man undergoes.
