THIRTIETH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR

October 27/2024

Lord, That I May See

Often the blind see more tham those who have sight. This is not a contradiction. There are more ways of "seeing" than through the eyes. In today's Gospel we meet a man called Bartimaeus. He had never set eyes on Jesus-he was blind. Yet he had more faith in Jesus than many those who saw him. The fact that we have two good eyes does not mean that we see what is important in life. Sometimes the problem is not what we cannot see, but that we won't see. Let us ask Christ to help us to see as he did Bartimaeus.
