R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Behold, our Lord shall come with power;
he will enlighten the eyes of his servants.

One of the important themes of Advent is LIGHT. Today’s readings focus on the Lord opening the eyes of the blind. A good reminder that we need the Lord to open our eyes that we may not walk in darkness, but be able to see the world and everyone in it in the light of the Lord.
