Saint Anselm :
"My heart has said of you, "Seek his face". O Lord, I do
seek your face" (Ps 26,8)
Book of Isaiah
29,17-24.
But a very little while, and Lebanon shall be changed into an
orchard, and the orchard be regarded as a forest! 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. The lowly will ever
find joy in the LORD, and the poor rejoice in the Holy One of
Israel. For the tyrant will be no more and the arrogant will
have gone; All who are alert to do evil will be cut off, those
whose mere word condemns a man, Who ensnare his defender at
the gate, and leave the just man with an empty claim.
Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of the house of Jacob,
who redeemed Abraham: Now Jacob shall have nothing to be
ashamed of, nor shall his face grow pale. When his children
see the work of my hands in his midst, They shall keep my name
holy; they shall reverence the Holy One of Jacob, and be in
awe of the God of Israel. Those who err in spirit shall
acquire understanding, and those who find fault shall receive
instruction.
Psalms
27,1.4.13-14.
Of David The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom do I
fear? The LORD is my life's refuge; of whom am I afraid?
One thing I ask of the LORD; this I seek: To dwell in the
LORD'S house all the days of my life, To gaze on the LORD'S
beauty, to visit his temple.
But I believe I shall enjoy the LORD'S goodness in the land of
the living.
Wait for the LORD, take courage; be stouthearted, wait for the
LORD!
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew
9,27-31.
And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed
(him), crying out, "Son of David, have pity on us!" When he
entered the house, the blind men approached him and Jesus said
to them, "Do you believe that I can do this?" "Yes, Lord,"
they said to him. Then he touched their eyes and said, "Let it
be done for you according to your faith." And their eyes were
opened. Jesus warned them sternly, "See that no one knows
about this." But they went out and spread word of him through
all that land.

Commentary of the day :
Saint Anselm (1033-1109), monk, bishop, doctor of the Church
Proslogion, 1
"My heart has said of you, "Seek his face". O Lord,
I do seek your face" (Ps 26,8)
Lord, how long will it be? (Ps 6,4). How long, Lord, will you
forget us? How long will you hide your face from us? (Ps
12,2). When will you look upon us and hear us? When will you
enlighten our eyes and show us your face? When will you come
back to us? Look upon us, Lord, hear us and enlighten us, show
us your very self. Return us the good of your presence amongst
us, whose life is so weary without you. Take pity on our
efforts and our striving toward you, for we may do nothing
without you. Since you invite us, therefore help us.
I beg you, O Lord, do not leave me sighing of desperation; but
rather let me breathe hope…May I at least be allowed to catch
a glimpse of the light, even from faraway, even from the
depths of hell. Teach me to seek you, and when I seek you show
yourself to me, for I cannot seek you unless you guide me, nor
may I find you unless you show yourself to me. I will seek you
in desiring you and desire you in seeking you, find you in
loving you and love you in finding you.
