THE WORD IN ADVENT - DAY 6

Kingdom  Task:  Bring Light,  Give Sight

Is 29:17-24; Mt 9: 27-31

The year of Mercy just concluded invited us to a series of activities that are essential for a Christian to involve in ás spiritual and corporal acts of Mercy.  Some of the spiritual acts are to bring the light of knowledge to the ignorant,  give the sight of counsel to the confused.  Yes these are kingdom tasks... the task of making the blind see.  The prophets prophesied,  the Lord did it and invites us to do it. 
 Can we take it upon ourselves to stand by the ignorant and sustain the confused?  The world today might wish to create a section that is ignorant and keep the majority confused-  that is the style of domination and arrogance. The Kingdom instead,  creates a solidarity of mutual respect and complete transparency.  Are we truly agents of the Reign of God?
