O Light
Gungor
Today is Friday the 5th of December, in the 1st week of Advent.
Gungor featuring All Sons and Daughters sing 'Oh Light'.
Oh light
Come to reconcile
Come in like a child
Holy night
Oh light
Our hopes and all our fears
Met within your sight
Holy night
Hallelujah
God is with us
Hallelujah
A light has come
Oh light
God and man entwine
Of earth and of divine
Holy night
Oh light
Mending fractured earth
The soul now felt its worth
Holy night
Hallelujah
God is with us
Hallelujah
A light has come
Hallelujah
Holy God is with us
Love is always born within
Hallelujah
Light will chase and find us
Love is facing us again
Hallelujah
Holy God is with us
Love is always born within
Hallelujah
Light will chase and find us
Love is facing us again
Hallelujah
God is with us
Hallelujah
A light has come
A light has come
Oh a light has come

Today’s reading is from the Gospel of Matthew.
Matthew 9:27-31
As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, crying loudly, ‘Have mercy on us, Son of David!’ When he entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, ‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?’ They said to him, ‘Yes, Lord.’ Then he touched their eyes and said, ‘According to your faith let it be done to you.’ And their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly ordered them, ‘See that no one knows of this.’ But they went away and spread the news about him throughout that district.

In this time of reflection, seek out Jesus with your listening. Try to recognise Jesus as the blind men do in today’s reading.
Notice how these “two blind men” follow Jesus. They do not wait for his gaze to fall on them, nor do they sit waiting for Jesus to approach. Rather, they follow him and call out: “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” What does it feel like to follow Jesus knowing that you can’t see him?
Jesus asks “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”. What kind of faith do we encounter in these blind men? How might they teach us to see with eyes of faith?
After restoring their sight, “Jesus sternly ordered them: ‘See that no one knows of this’.” Why does he say this? What might Jesus be inviting them to do next?
Now listen, again, imagining yourself in the place of the blind men whose sight has been restored. How do you see Jesus now?

Matthew 9:27-31
As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, crying loudly, ‘Have mercy on us, Son of David!’ When he entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, ‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?’ They said to him, ‘Yes, Lord.’ Then he touched their eyes and said, ‘According to your faith let it be done to you.’ And their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly ordered them, ‘See that no one knows of this.’ But they went away and spread the news about him throughout that district.

Finally, just look back on what you have received during this time of prayer. Stay with Jesus and share with him all that has happened.
