Today we are presented by our Mother the Church the following scene in the Gospel. He is brought a blind man they beg him to cure. He removes him from the village they are in. Jesus puts spittle on his eyes and asks him how he is with his sight. He replies that he saw people but they were like trees moving about. So Jesus proceeds to put in hand on him again and only then could the man see clearly. To carry out God’s purpose for us He proceeds step by step. At time he does things quickly with one step like the majority of his miracles. But he could also as he did with this blind person. First, one step, then came the final step. So let us appreciate also this way of God acting on us in our prayer where we may see nothing, then another prayer period we see some more and so on and so forth. Only in Heaven will we see very clearly God face to face.
