For those who are beset with fear
I saw this quote this afternoon during a shoot at the office of a Christian group: "Every opportunity to fear is also an opportunity to trust in God."
It reminds me of today's Gospel, taken from Matthew: "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."
To us who are afraid of what tomorrow brings, to us who are beset with the impossible, Jesus also asks, "Do you believe that I can do this?"
