Light Is About Seeing Correctly
The OT and the gospel text are about seeing. Samuel (with the Lord’s help) discerns that David is the one to be anointed King over Israel. Jesus heals the blind man who can be considered as the archetype for all of us.
Rohr says, "Our lack of self-knowledge and our lack of wisdom make humans do very stupid and self-destructive things. Because humans cannot see their own truth very well, they do not read reality very well either. We all have our tragic flaws and blind spots. Humans always need more ‘light' or enlightenment about themselves and about the endless mystery of God."
