Senses

[The man who was blind for birth and had been healed] answered them and said, "I have told you already and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again?" John 9:27

In this Sunday's gospel (John 9:1-41) people are blind to Jesus' actions in healing the man who could not see and they also appear to be deaf, because they keep hounding the healed man, asking repeatedly, "What did Jesus do to you?"

Such doubters they are; such doubters we are!

God,
You come to us in so many ways
Yet, sometimes we can't quite believe
It's you
Whose actions we are seeing in the world
It's you
Who is calling us
It's you
Who is speaking through someone who has seen you
It's you
Who is healing us with your touch
It's you
Who is moving in and among us
It's you
We smell in the incense that rises in our prayers to you
It's you
We feel and know in the refreshing waters of baptism
It's you
In the bread and wine we taste.
It's you.


We shout out to you:
"We believe; help our unbelief!"
