We thank you,
God of all the earth,
for ways you startle us--
you call us to sing a
new song,
you restore our sight to
see clearly,
you give us good news to
contemplate,
and in our Servant Lord you show us
how blessed it is to be
set free--
free to be your
servants.

…so [God's servant] shall startle many nations;
kings shall shut their mouths because of him;
for that which had not been told them they shall see,
and that which they had not heard they shall contemplate.

Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the
present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. But
the other woman corresponds to the Jerusalem above; she is free, and she is our
mother.

Then Jesus laid his hands on [the blind man's] eyes again;
and he looked intently and his sight was restored, and he saw everything
clearly.
