Advent Reflections: Friday • St. Francis Xavier, Priest •

On that day the deaf shall hear
the words of a book;
And out of gloom and darkness,
the eyes of the blind shall see.
—Isaiah 29:18


When my ears are deafened by the clamor of the
world’s distractions, and my eyes are dazzled by its
fleeting attractions, God’s promise breaks through: “I
will open the ears and the eyes of your heart.”


Isaiah 29:17–24
Psalm 27
Matthew 9:27–31
