Reflection for Today
Today we pray for those in danger of losing their eyesight from disease. Diseases that affect vision can be particularly frightening because they often progress slowly, giving people time to fear what might happen while still hoping for a cure.
Psalm 146:8 reminds us that the Lord gives sight to the blind. This promise offers hope to those facing vision loss from disease. God has the power to heal, and He often works through medical professionals and treatments to restore or preserve vision.
Diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts can rob people of their sight gradually or suddenly. The fear of losing vision can be overwhelming, affecting not just the person with the disease but their entire family.
As we begin this novena, let us remember that God sees the suffering of those facing vision loss and wants to help them. Our prayers can help these individuals find strength, hope, and peace in the midst of their medical challenges.
Let us pray that those facing vision loss from disease will find comfort in God's love and that they will trust in His healing power and His plan for their vision.

May this novena help us grow in understanding and empathy for those facing eyesight problems. Amen.
