First Friday of Advent

Do you believe that I can do this?

This is the question God asks us to answer every time we petition Him. Hopefully, we answer as the two blind men did, Yes, Lord. This simple affirmation of our faith opens our eyes to the Will of God in our lives and grants us the opportunity to spread the Word of God in thanksgiving for all He has done for us seen and unseen.

What is our first instinct when God asks us if we believe He can do this or that for us? How can we make ourselves into a living Yes to the Lord of Life? Can we trust in the love, mercy, and grace of God even when His answers to our petitions are not exactly what we wanted or expected?

O Lord, open our eyes to the faith we need to be bearers of your Holy Word in the world.

Amen.
