Gospel Reading for December 5, 2025 – Matthew 9: 27-31
EVERYTHING
As Jesus passed by, two blind men followed him, crying out, “Son of David, have pity on us!” When he entered the house, the blind men approached him and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I can do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they said to him. Then he touched their eyes and said, “Let it be done for you according to your faith.” And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” But they went out and spread word of him through all that land.

They did not have eyesight, but they were able to follow Jesus. It was just eyesight that they did not have, but they had the very powerful eyes of faith that made Jesus give them their eyesight.
As Jesus says in Mark 11: 23, “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them” faith is of utmost importance if we want things to happen in our lives. We need to have faith in our family, in our children, in our loved ones, in the people we work with, etc.. Most of all, we have to remember that with God, EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
Lord, heal us of our blindness or indifference to the suffering of others, the injustices, moral degradation and cruelty to all living creatures, and help us do our part in alleviating all of these in your name!
