ACC ~ Mark 8 v22b

THE BLINDNESS OF ISRAEL

JEROME: Watch this very carefully. Note exactly what is said. In the home village of the apostles, there is a blind man. In the very place where the apostles were born there is blindness. Do you grasp what I am saying? This blind man in the very home of the apostles is like the lost covenant people of Israel. HOMILY 79. [1]
