Blessed are your eyes and your ears

“But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear. Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.” (MT 13: 16-17) 

We received the privilege of discipleship—“many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.” The value is not in the ability of seeing or hearing, but in the possibility to look on Jesus’ love for us and to hear His words of love to us. When we celebrate Mass or when we adore Him in the Blessed Sacrament or when we read the Bible, we are eye witnesses of His love.

“Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom.” (Gospel Acclamation)
