“But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.”

There are, however, those who do see and hear, and they do so because they are ‘God-blessed' ones, that is, because their ‘eyes' have been blessed by God. It is God Who had made them see and hear. And because He has stepped in to bless them they have responded. They are those whom His Father has drawn to Him (John 6:44). And thus they parallel those described in the beatitudes as ‘God-blessed ones'. They are what they are because God has blessed them. And that is why they see and hear.
