Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Happy are your eyes because they see, your ears because they hear! I tell you solemnly, many prophets and holy men longed to see what you see, and never saw it; to hear what you hear, and never heard it.’
Mt13:16,17
Jesus is explaining to his disciples why he teaches in parables, to overcome the blindness and deafness of those who do not want to repent and believe. Meanwhile the disciples have happiness because they see and hear what God is saying.
What was it that the disciples saw and heard to gain their happiness? It was Jesus. They saw Jesus and they heard him speak. Where is it that I can see and hear Jesus to gain happiness? The Church he established for this very purpose is a good place to start. In his Church I see him in the sacraments and hear him through scripture.
Today is the feast of Saints Anne and Joachim. A good day to go to Mass to see, hear and be happy.
Thank you Jesus for establishing your Church so I may see you, hear you and be happy.
Saints Anne and Joachim, please pray for us.
