Reflection

God speaks to you every day: Isaiah tells us our ears and eyes will be opened in Christ to hear God's voice. What do you hear God saying to you?

What is there in this promise from the Prophet Isaiah that gives you hope? How have you seen this promise fulfilled in Christ?

Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph

“When John the Baptist heard in prison of the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples to Jesus with this question,

“Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?” Jesus said to them in reply,

“Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed,

the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.

Blessed is the one who takes no offense at me.” Jesus then began to speak to the crowds about John,

“What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind?... a prophet?

This is the one about whom it is written: Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you;

he will prepare your way before you.” Matthew 11:2-11
