THEME: ‘’MY TEACHER, LET ME SEE AGAIN’’

This was the plea of the blind man, Bartimaeus when he came face to face with Jesus. The gift of physical sight is something we must not take for granted. As the Scripture says: ‘’the eye is the lamp of the body. So, is if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light’’ (Mt 6: 22). But while physical sight is a great gift, ‘’spiritual sight is even greater’’. One of the saddest remarks Jesus made about some people of his time is that they have eyes but fail to see (Mt 13:14). It shows the necessity of spiritual sight. Bartimaeus was in darkness before he met Jesus. His healing  goes beyond physical restoration of sight to call to discipleship of Christ. The Gospel tells us that Bartimaeus followed Jesus immediately he regained his sight. We need the eyes of faith more than anything in our lives. We can make the prayer of Bartimaeus our own by always asking the Lord to help us see what is truly important in our lives.

1st reading: Jeremiah 31:7-9. The Lord will bring his people home both strong and weak.

Responsorial Psalm: The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.

2nd reading: Hebrews 5:1-6. Jesus is a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Gospel: Mark 10:46-52. Jesus cures the blind man, Bartimaeus and immediately he follows him.

 

Thanks and happy celebration!

Fr. Sylvanus

Servant of the Lord
