Peace on Earth – Day 6: Where Are You Blind?

Today’s reflection invites us to look honestly at the places in our lives where we are blind — the areas where resentment, anger, disappointment, or hurt have kept us from truly living.

 

Father shares the moving story of a man who lost his physical sight, yet lived with joy, creativity, and faith far deeper than many who can still see. His resilience challenges us to look at our own hearts:

 

Where have we stopped living because of frustration, hurt, or unmet expectations?

Where have we allowed resentment to close us off from joy?

 

The Advent prayer we’re invited to make today is simple and powerful:

“Lord, open my eyes. I want to see.”

 

Open my eyes to see others as You see them.

Open my eyes to release resentment.

Open my eyes to live in the light again.

Open my eyes to the hope and peace You offer.

 

Every one of us has places where we’re blind — places where we need the light of Christ to break in. As we approach the end of the first week of Advent, let’s ask Jesus to open our eyes and help us move from darkness into light.

 

If you know someone struggling with bitterness, discouragement, or spiritual blindness, please consider sharing this video with them today.

 

Peace on Earth, and God bless you.
