How come the unbelief of His countrymen prevented Jesus from performing many mighty works among them?

They saw him growing up like a normal boy and are `blinded` by his humanity.Suppose that those who loved him truly believed too. Others might have very well be jealous of his mighty God given powers. Those wonders taht go beyond what we normally see and experience are more likely to strike us as true if they come from an afar country. There was no point in making hsi Power foreshine there. Which risks making us fall into the trap of mythology. But if you have really taken in the Word and know which love prophecies had to be fullfilled...in the OT Tradition preserved in the Ark and fullfiled in the yes of Mary ''again yesterday at the Militia meeting, somebody said how Mary showed incredible courage in obeying God, first Commandment, risking to be stoned and condemned for the false accusation of having broken one of the Commandments regarding fidelity -but the angels had prepared Jospeh heart and his OT Faith must have been equally unshakable'' the most indisputable one especially also for his countrymen being the Resurrection from the dead. Who else could? so mighty that it must have overturned the disbelief of many.

What is there about the Kingdom of Heaven that makes it worth forsaking everything else to obtain it?

I mean its drwoning in God`s love pure Life and Joy...we can have a foretaste of that in life and we can contribute to spread it ourselves. Our actions the stae of our lamps our souls...how much do they shine from inner cleansiness and also ahow much effort have we put in trying to keep them so or get them so? yesterday at a meeting of the Militia of the Immaculate, they read a passage by some of Kolbe`s nuns in Bologna saying that the Immaculate takes us by our hand and leads us through the darkness. She knows our pace and weaknesses and what pace we can go at. Most importantly here, we don`t need not to be sinners. We ares swimming striving for holyness going agaisnt the human negative currents that try to drag us under. We can be near the bottom of evil, but the angels will fish us out. Our intention- tending toward salvation makes us worthy of the Kingdom very possibly with the need for some Purgatorial fire. Those who intentionally swim along the evil currents, that may very well be easier to go along with and appareently superficially pleasant and as source of happiness, really take us potentially toward a black hole. But potentially anyone can shout for help and be saved - if so tos ay directs his fins toward God.

Why did Jesus call the Pharisees blind? What were they unable to see?

They dont see that th real cleansiness with the capital C is the one of the heart. The intentions. And not just the formal obeyance to the formal directives that God gives. They care for the appearance but neglect the substance of the teachings. They cleanse the outward side of the vessel and make it shine for everyone to see and think tha they are good, but the inside is very likely filthy and that filth that gradually builds up blinds them and makes it difficult to walk in Jesus footsteps.
