Pure joy today, as Tobias arrives home. Raphael leads him in first, to be greeted by Anna, and then to go to his father and heal his blindness. In a touching moment, Tobias steadies his tottering father, tenderly applies the fish gall to his father’s eyes and restores his sight. The first thing the old man sees is his son. It brings freshness to the saying “The light of my eyes.”
Then Tobit walks out confidently with Tobias to meet the arriving Sarah, and all the Jews in Nineveh rejoice to see the kindly old man walking unaided.
God is praised. Healing has come to this house.
