Heavenly Father, Lord of majesty and mercy, every good and enduring thing in our life we have because of you. While these words are simple, they are heartfelt. In Infant Jesus' name, we thank you.

  Meditation on Today's Gospel: (Mark 8:22-26)

The people's response to this miracle give evidence to Jesus' great care for others: He has made all things well. No problem or trouble was too much for Jesus' careful contemplation. The Lord treats each of us with kindness and sympathy and he calls us to treat one another in like kind. The Holy Spirit who dwells within us facilitates us to love as Jesus loves. Do we show kindness and compassion to our neighbors and do we treat them with considerateness as Jesus did?
