The Humour in Jesus Healing a Blind Man

In Your Presence - Podcast autorstwa Eric Nicolai

A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai in a parish in Fort Alexander, Manitoba on August 7 2023. There are traces of subtle humour in the Gospel. There is a touching moment when the Lord heals the blind man, somewhat gradually, testing him like a doctor might. Matt 8, 22-36 Do you see anything? Looking up, the man replied, “I see people looking like trees and walking”. Trees walking? What did he actually see? Music: Bert Alink, guitar arrangement, Mossy Garden. Thumbnail: Rembrandt, "Jesus Heals Blind Man", ink drawing, 1655. Rotterdam, Museum Boymans van Beuningen.
