WEEKLY MEDITATION

The blind Bartimaeus is an example of what our faith and trust in Jesus ought to be. He has firm confidence in the person of Jesus. When asked by Jesus what he wants, there is no doubt about his request. His prayer is "Lord, that I may see." Although Bartimaeus may have been a beggar, he is a person of gratitude because upon receiving his sight he immediately follows Jesus. The fact that we have eyes does not mean that we always see what is important in life. There is more to sight than merely seeing the light of day. Eyes are of little use if we fail to see that hand of God at work in our lives. At times we all experience such darkness and are sorely in need of the light of God. In caring for the blind Bartimaeus, Christ is telling us that there is an even worse state of blindness than physical blindness. We all suffer from spiritual blindness and Jesus is letting us know that he can cure this illness and prevent us from groping around in darkness. The cry of the blind man, "Lord, that I may see," is a prayer that should constantly be on our lips.

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
" The time for speeches is over. Now we must listen to the silence of the Pope. He speaks to us fully in those silences, eloquent silences." 

Tadeusz Styczen, friend of the Pope.
