The Scripture readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/120525.cfm To encounter Christ is to encounter the One who heals—physically, spiritually, supernaturally. Today’s Gospel reminds us that miracles are not mythology but reality. Two blind men cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on us.” Their plea becomes the seed of what the Church would later cherish as the Jesus Prayer—“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
