5 December • Advent: The Season of Seeing Potential (Like a Coach or Teacher)

[Video Hook]
Teachers see potential in students. Coaches see potential in athletes. But do we see the spiritual potential in ourselves and the world?

[Video Summary]
In this "Word of Hope" for the Friday of the First Week of Advent, Fr. Bob Keller reflects on the power of "seeing what could be." Broadcasting from the St. Catherine of Siena House in Grand Rapids, MI, Fr. Bob looks at the Gospel of Matthew where two blind men call out to Jesus, addressing Him as the "Son of David."

Despite their physical blindness, they possessed a deep spiritual insight that allowed the Kingdom of God to break through. This Advent, we are challenged to look past the surface and see the potential for peace, dialogue, and holiness in our own lives.

[Scripture References]
📖 Gospel: Matthew 9:27-31 (Healing of the Two Blind Men)
