In both readings today the blindness of the people is highlighted.

In Exodus, God intervenes to show that he is indeed God. The worshippers of the golden calf could not see this, though it was shown in his love and care for them in bringing them out of Egypt.

Similarly, Jesus admonishes those who will not see not see that he is the one sent by the Father, and that it is the power of God that is at work in the miracles he performs.

Lord, we are so often blind to you and to your presence in our day. Like those people so long ago, we can only rely on your forgiveness and healing power to restore our sight, so that we may find you in the moments of our day.
