Catholic Commission for Social Justice
Today we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints. From an early age, we Catholics learned what our role in life should be. During First Communion lessons, when the Catechism teacher asked: “Why did God make you?” The entire class would reply: “God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in heaven.”
Leela’s speech for opening Seminar – Justice, Peace and Community Week
From: 24-31 Oct 2015
Theme: Let’s build inclusive communities
Sat 24 Oct at LWC/TCN from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Dear brothers and sisters,
There is so much that you and I can learn from the nuggets of wisdom shared by Fr Matthew and Rhonda. Our society and the world yearn for justice, peace and for communities to live together as God intended.
Gospel Mark 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.” He threw aside his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus. Jesus said to him in reply, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man replied to him, “Master, I want to see.” Jesus told him, “Go your way; your faith has saved you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.
Today’s Gospel reading about Jesus’ healing of the blind man, Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46-52), has much to teach us as we begin Justice, Peace and Community Week (JPCW) from Oct 24-31 on the theme: Let’s build inclusive communities.
But before I focus on the reading, I congratulate Bernadette Patrick and the Magnificat team for a spiritually uplifting retreat on Saturday October 17.
