Hey Spouts, during the months of June and July, we will not be having new content here on the Catholic Sprouts podcast. Instead, we will be revisiting some of my favorite weeks of content. And here is one of those weeks. Enjoy.

You're listening to Catholic Sprouts.

The daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.

Hey there, Sprouse. Today is Tuesday, March 26, 2019. This week on the Catholic Spouts podcast, we are talking about Jesus Christ as we journey through Lent. And this week, we are looking at his miracles. Yesterday, we started with his first miracle, which was performed at the wedding feast at Cana at the request

of his mother. Today, we are moving on to his healing miracles. We're going to be talking about

his healing miracles both today and tomorrow. Now, in the Gospels, there are lots and lots of

examples of when Jesus healed someone that was hurt

or ill or disabled. There are lots of these examples, but we today are going to look at one

particular example. And through this example, we are going to see how Jesus not only sees our physical wounds and helps us

with our physical suffering, but he also sees our spiritual wounds and how having some spiritual

healing is as important to Jesus, if not more important.

So the story we are going to look at is the healing of two blind men.

This is a story taken from the Gospel of Matthew,

and here are the verses that tell us of this healing.

As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him.

There were two blind men sitting by the roadside.

When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they shouted,

Lord, have mercy on us, son of David.

The crowd sternly ordered them to be quiet, but they shouted even more loudly.

Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David. Jesus stood still and called to them

saying, what do you want me to do? They said to him, Lord, let our eyes be opened. Moved with compassion,

Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately they regained their sight and followed him.
