Do you believe I can do all things?

"Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe." (St Augustine).

"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." (Matthew 9: 27 - 31).

This Friday December 2nd of the first week of Advent is also the First Friday in December. Honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus today.

Two blind friends who have heard of the miracles of Jesus sought Him out until they found Him. They cried excitedly: “Son of David, have pity on us!” Jesus who delights in mercy can never resist those who ask Him for mercy.

Jesus asked the two blind men: “Do you believe that I can do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they said to him.

FAITH IS TRUSTING IN THE WORD OF GOD. BEFORE THE BLIND MEN APPROACHED JESUS, THEY BELIEVED ALREADY IN THEIR HEART THAT JESUS CAN HEAL THEM. NOW FACE TO FACE WITH JESUS, THEY CONFESSED WITH THEIR MOUTH AND WERE HEALED OF BLINDNESS.

“Let it be done for you according to your faith.” Jesus said. "And their eyes were opened."

"Be it done to me according to Your word." The word of Jesus is a Divine Command. Belief in this word is faith.
What do you seek from Jesus?
Faith, Health, Family, Job, Money?
Do you believe that Jesus can do this for you?
Are you prepared to wait for His perfect timing? Are you willing for example to accept another model of car, woman/man, health plan if that is the will of Jesus for you?

You may receive little from Jesus if you do not see that Jesus knows exactly what you need, when you need it. “Do you believe that I can do this?” “Yes, Lord.”

"The loss of faith that afflicts so many souls is incompatible with a life of adoration. Souls do not stop adoring because they have lost their faith; they lose their faith because they have stopped adoring Me. This is why I would have you hold fast even to the outward forms of adoration. When even these things are cast aside, there is nothing left to invite the soul to the inward adoration in spirit and in truth by which I am glorified. I speak here of the genuflection, the prostration, the profound bow and all the other marks of attention to My presence that provide the soul with a language in which she can express her faith and her desire to adore Me." (IN SINU JESU, Saturday, October 25, 2008).
