From today’s Scripture: “He rose, picked up his mat at once, and went away in the sight of everyone. They were all astounded and glorified God, saying, ‘We have never seen anything like this.’”—Mk 2:12

Have you ever seen anything like this? Most of us lead ordinary lives, dealing with a job, the kids, health, bills, and so on. We miss the extraordinary in our lives, the miracles of everyday life: the wonders in a kid’s eye, a kind word, a flower growing in concrete, the wind in the trees, and, most especially, the host being elevated. Faith and prayer can move mountains, remove roofs, and make our day extraordinary!

Let us pray: Help me, dear God, to see as you see, to hear as you hear, and to touch as you touch. May faith open the roof of my heart and allow you to perform miracles in my heart. Amen.
