First Reading: Genesis 28:10-22
Psalm: Psalm 91:1-4, 14-15
Gospel: Matthew 9:18-26
God is seen by those who have the capacity to see him, provided that they keep the eyes of their mind open. All have eyes, but some have eyes that are shrouded in darkness, unable to see the light of the sun. Because the blind cannot see it, it does not follow that the sun does not shine. The blind must trace the cause back to themselves and their eyes. In the same way, you have eyes in your mind that are shrouded in darkness because of your sins and evil deeds. No one who has sin within him can see God. If you understand this, and live in purity and holiness and justice, you may see God.
-- Saint Theophilus of Antioch
