The Venerable Bede on the Gospel for Oculi

St. Matthew tells us that the demon-possessed man [in today's Gospel] was not only mute but also blind. He was cured by Our Lord so that he could both speak and see. Simultaneously, then, three miracles are performed on this one man-he sees, he speaks, and he is delivered from the devil. These three miracles are daily repeated when a sinner repents. First, the devil is expelled; then the sinner sees the light of faith; and lastly, he opens his lips to praise God.
