GOSPEL: Matthew 11:2-6

Reading:
Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,   And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?   Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:   The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.   And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

Commentary:
John the Baptist knew well Christ was the One, the Lamb of God who would take away the sin of the world.  Not all his disciples however followed Christ.  Thus he sent these two to see and hear Christ.  Christ still opens the eyes of the blind today, by preaching His Gospel of Light."  "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
