                                 SOME THOUGHTS ON TODAY’S GOSPEL                     

Without his cloak the blind man could be even more lost - he would lose protection from the elements. It was one of his most essential possessions. In going to Jesus, he let it go. In prayer there is much letting go. We hand over disappointments, hurts and grief as best we can. We hand them over to the one who loves us and gives much more in return. We listen to Jesus speak to us as he spoke to Bartimaeus. He asks, ‘What do you want me to do for you?'

 

The 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time

LITURGY OF THE WORD

 

1st READING JEREMIAH 31: 7-9

(God’s Deliverance)

Jeremiah’s hymn opens with joy, for God has bestowed salvation on his people. He has delivered his people and will guide and bless them so none will go astray.

 

RESPONSORIAL PSALM 126

(God’s Mighty Works)

The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy

 

2nd READING HEBREWS 5:1-6

(Christ the Mediator)

Every high priest is designated by God. He has selected from among the people to be their mediator with God. No one takes this honor by himself.

 

THE GOSPEL OF MARK 10:46-52

(Healing of a Blind Man)

Bartimaeus, a blind man, hearing Jesus called out loudly, “Jesus, son of David, have pity on me!” Jesus summoned him and, seeing his faith, cured him. Bartimaeus followed Jesus.
