Enlightened by our Faith

by Leela Ramdeen, Chair, CCSJ and Director, CREDI
by Leela Ramdeen, Chair, CCSJ and Director, CREDI

We can learn a lot from today’s Gospel reading (Mark10: 46-52) about Bartimaeus, the blind beggar whose sight Jesus restores as he is leaving Jericho to enter into Jerusalem – shortly before Palm Sunday and Jesus’ passion.

There are many levels on which this reading can be understood. How many times do we see “beggars” on our street and wish that they would be quiet and not cry out to us, who are Jesus’ instruments, to have pity on them. The reading also speaks to us about being persistent in prayer. Even when many of those present “scolded him and told him to keep quiet…Bartimaeus only shouted all the louder.” When Jesus says: “Call him here” it reminds us that Jesus is listening to our petitions – do not despair.

Archbishop Harris’ Gospel Reflection October 28 – 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B)

by Archbishop Joseph Harris
by Archbishop Joseph Harris

Gospel Mk 10:46-52

As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging. On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.” And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have pity on me.” Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take courage; get up, Jesus is calling you.”
