The Blind Man: Discover the Layers of Meaning Present
In Your Presence - A podcast by Eric Nicolai
Categories:
Today's reading is from Luke 18:35-43, about the blind man of Jerico, healed by Jesus. This passage lends itself to our prayer, because we can easily conjure up the image, the sounds, the atmosphere, the smells, that the blind man was experiencing. We weren’t there, and we too are blind, in a way. And he reacted. Saint Josemaria has a long commentary on this passage in Friends of God, from a meditation he preached on October 12, 1947. How do I really read the Word of God, Holy Scripture, to its fullest meaning? Preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Kintore College on November 20, 2023. Music: Handel, Opera Rinaldo, Aria Lascia che io pianga adapted for guitar by Bart Alink. Thumbnail: Anna and Tobit by Rembrandt, 1630, National Gallery, UK.
