“’What do you want me to do for you?’ The blind man replied to him, ‘Master, I want to see.’” (Mk 10:51)
From St Anselm:
“Come now, turn your back on your busyness for a little while; for a few moments leave the tumult of your thoughts. Throw off the burden of your cares, and put aside your wearisome occupations. Make some time for God, rest in him for a while. Enter into the chamber of your mind, exclude everything but God, and what will help you find him; shut the door and search for him.
Come then, Lord my God, come and instruct my heart where and how to search for you, where and how to find you. Where shall I look for you, Lord, if you are absent and not here? And if you are everywhere, why are you not visible to me? Who will guide me and conduct me so that I may see you? And then by what signs, by what visible form shall I know you? I have never seen you, I do not know what you look like, Lord my God.
You are my Lord and my God, and I have never seen you. You have made me and remade me and bestowed on me all the good that I possess, and still I do not know you. In a word, I was created to see you and I have not yet done what I was created to do.”
