Sunday
First Reading 1 Samuel 16:1B,6-7,10-13A
Psalm 23:1-3,4,5,6
Second Reading Ephesians 5:8-14
Gospel John 9:1-6, 9,13-17,34-38
Today's readings remind us that God sees beyond what people see. While the world often judges by appearance, success, or status, God looks deeply into the heart. Like David, who was the least expected but chosen by God, we are reminded that what truly matters is a humble and faithful heart.
The Psalm reassures us that the Lord is our Shepherd. He lovingly guides us, protects us, and walks with us even through dark valleys. When we trust Him, we find peace and strength.
St. Paul also reminds us that we are called to live as children of light. Our lives should reflect goodness, truth, and love so that others may see God's light through us.
In the Gospel, Jesus heals the man born blind. While the man begins to see, others remain blind because of pride and disbelief. This reminds us that true sight is not only physical but spiritual. Jesus invites us to open our hearts so that we may truly see His presence in our lives.
Prayer: Open My Eyes, Lord🙏💜
"Lord, open my eyes so that I may see Your truth, walk in Your light, and trust in Your loving guidance."
Loving Father,
Thank You for reminding me today that You look not at my appearance or achievements, but at my heart. Help me to always come before You with sincerity, humility, and trust, just as David did when You called him.
Lord, You are my Shepherd. Lead me in the right path and guide my steps each day. When I walk through difficulties and uncertainties, remind me that You are always with me, protecting and strengthening me.
Jesus, You healed the man who was born blind. Today I ask You to open my eyes as well — not only my physical eyes, but the eyes of my heart. Remove any pride, doubt, or fear that keeps me from truly seeing Your presence in my life.
Help me to walk as a child of light. May my words, actions, and choices reflect Your goodness, truth, and love so that others may see Your light through me.
Lord, I believe in You. Stay with me, guide me, and transform my heart each day.
In Jesus' Name. Amen. 🙏💜🙏
