For 30 May 2024, Thursday of week 8 in Ordinary Time, based on Mark 10:46-52
As Jesus and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!’ Many sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried out even more loudly, ‘Son of David, have mercy on me!’ Jesus stood still and said, ‘Call him here.’ And they called the blind man, saying to him, ‘Take heart; get up, he is calling you.’ So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. Then Jesus said to him, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ The blind man said to him, ‘My teacher, let me see again.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your faith has made you well.’ Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way.

What is Jesus calling me to see?
What are the ramifications if I do look?

Thank you for a powerful and challenging homily of Bartimaeus’s request and Jesus’s response.
Be assured I will give my self time to review, reflect and respond to this Good News you have shared with us today, Beth. It brings much hope!

Thanks Beth! You have confirmed my desire to pray for the gift of
“seeing with inner, clearer sight” – a form of contemplative seeing perhaps…. I will ask for this Gift! Connie Koch, OP
