What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
And it should be noted what He says to the blind man as he approaches: "What do you want Me to do for you?" Did He who was able to restore light not know what the blind man wanted? But He wishes to be asked for that which He foreknows both that we will ask and that He will grant. For He urges us persistently to prayer, and yet says: "For your heavenly Father knows what you need before you ask Him." Therefore He requires to be asked for this reason: He requires it in order to arouse the heart to prayer. …
Thomas Aquinas
They say to him: Lord, that our eyes may be opened. And this is just, that every sinner ask this. Psalm 118:18: open my eyes, and I will consider your wonders. And elsewhere, Psalm 12:4: enlighten my eyes.
