“As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging . . . They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” And he cried, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me . . . And Jesus stopped, and commanded him to be brought to him; and . . . he asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me receive my sight.” And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight, your faith has made you well.” Luke 18:35-38, 40-41.
“When I want something very much, I thank God beforehand, for I feel God will certainly grant what He has been thanked for.” St. Mary MacKillop.
Lord Jesus, give me the faith to cry out to You my needs, the needs of my people and those of my Church. You are a Provident God! Increase my faith. Amen.

"Cuando Jesús se acercó a Jericó, un ciego estaba sentado a la orilla del camino pidiendo limosna [...] Le dijeron: "Jesús de Nazaret está de paso". Y gritó: "Jesús, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí . . . Entonces Jesús se detuvo y mandó que le trajeran; y... él le preguntó: "¿Qué quieres que haga por ti?" Él dijo: "Señor, permíteme recobrar la vista". Y Jesús le dijo: Recobra la vista, tu fe te ha salvado. Lucas 18:35-38, 40-41.
"Cuando quiero mucho algo, doy gracias a Dios de antemano, porque siento que Dios ciertamente concederá lo que se le ha agradecido". Santa María MacKillop.
Señor Jesús, dame la fe para clamar a Ti mis necesidades, las necesidades de mi pueblo y las de mi Iglesia. ¡Tú eres un Dios Providente! Aumenta mi fe. Amén.
