Gospel Reading ~ Mark 10:46–52

“Master, I want to see”

“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.”

In today’s Gospel reading, a blind man, sitting at the side of the road, offered a prayer of petition to Jesus. He calls out in prayer to Jesus as Jesus was leaving Jericho to travel up to Jerusalem, ‘Son of David, have pity on me’. He may have been physically blind, but He saw Jesus with the eyes of faith, addressing Him with a title that was reserved for the long awaited Messiah. In his prayer, he didn’t speak politely to Jesus. According to the Gospel reading, he shouted at Jesus. He may have been blind but he had a voice and he was going to use it to connect with Jesus. The crowds around Jesus reacted to his shouting by giving out to him and trying to impose silence on him. Many people rebuked him and told him to keep quiet. They saw this man as a nuisance. In response, the man simply shouted all the louder. Here was someone who was totally focused on making contact with Jesus. He wasn’t going to be put off by people who were trying to put him in his place. He would allow no one to come between himself and Jesus. It was his desperate need that drove him to seek out the Lord with such single-minded determination.
Bartimaeus displays the kind of persevering, prayerful, courageous faith that we all need from time to time. This vulnerable person encourages us to keep seeking after the Lord, even when those around us try to discourage us from reaching the Lord. In various ways, the times in which we live can put pressure on us to hold back from expressing our faith in the Lord. We need something of the spirit of Bartimaeus today. He may have been weak in body, but he was strong in spirit. His faith in Jesus was stronger than the efforts of people to silence him.

Fortunately, Bartimaeus did not buy into the way other people saw him. He ignored the people who told him to keep quiet and he shouted all the louder, and in doing so he got a very different response from Jesus, ‘Call him here’. The very people who saw Bartimaeus as a nuisance were sent by Jesus to Bartimaeus to call him over. They were being invited to see Bartimaeus as Jesus saw him, not as a nuisance, but as a human being in need of help. Jesus’ way of seeing this man led to his being healed of his blindness. Bartimaeus inspires us to witness to our faith, when the pressure to keep our faith to ourselves is strong. Jesus’ response to the blind man’s cry was very different to the response of those around him. The Gospel reading says, ‘Jesus stopped’. He was heading for Jerusalem where he would suffer an even greater form of exclusion than Bartimaeus was presently experiencing. It was the most significant journey of Jesus’ life, and, yet, the persistent and courageous prayer of Bartimaeus stopped him in his tracks. The Lord always stops for us whenever we turn to him in our need. He doesn’t pass us by when we call upon him. Whereas the people around Jesus tried to silence the blind man, Jesus now instructs those same people to call him over. Rather than being an obstacle to this blind man’s efforts to reach Jesus, they are to bring him to Jesus. We all have a role to play in binging each other to the Lord. We are called to support one another’s journey to the Lord, especially in times when there are so many obstacles to faith in Him. Just as Jesus called Bartimaeus through those around him, he wants to call others through each one of us. Bartimaeus’ response to the Lord’s call is very striking, ‘throwing off his cloak, he jumped up and came to Jesus’. The energy and vigour that he displays is an outward expression of his deep faith. In throwing off his cloak, he was throwing off his most precious possession, the cloak that kept him warm at night and that he stretched out by day to receive the coins that kept him alive. We all need something of his vigour and energy as we seek to grow in our relationship with the Lord and in our response to his call. Jesus now addresses him in a very personal way, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ The answer to that question may have been obvious, but Jesus gave him the opportunity to express his deepest desire in his own words. The Lord who stops for us whenever we cry out to him in prayer always invites us to give expression to what it is we truly want in our heart of hearts. The love in his heart is open and responsive to what is deepest in our own heart. Once Jesus healed Bartimaeus of his blindness, He invites him to go on his way. However, Bartimaeus doesn’t go on his way. Instead, he follows in Jesus’ way, along the road to Jerusalem. Having abandoned his most prized possession, he becomes a disciple, following in the way of the Lord. This is where his heartfelt prayer led him. It is where our own heartfelt prayer to the Lord will lead us too. Whenever we seek the Lord in prayer, with the determination of Bartimaeus, we too will be given the freedom and the strength to follow the Lord as his faithful disciple.

Today’s Gospel reading is inviting us to ask ourselves, ‘How do we see others?’ ‘Do we see them as the Lord sees them?’ The people we are tempted to see as nuisances may be those whom the Lord is calling to himself, and whom he is calling us to serve. Bartimaeus shouted loudly, according to the Gospel reading, and people who shout can easily be seen by others as nuisances. Yet, when it comes to personal well-being and the well being of others, shouting can be in order. Jesus had the capacity to look beyond the shouting of Bartimaeus to the heart of the man out of which the shouting came. This is the kind of seeing that we are all called to, a seeing that sees deeply, that looks beyond what might be an off-putting exterior to the struggle that is going on within the person. This kind of compassionate seeing has its own healing power. When we see as the Lord sees we become channels of his own healing and life-giving presence to others. That is an important dimension of our baptismal calling.

Our first reading today gives the words of assurance and comfort from the Lord Who was telling His people to have faith in Him and in His salvation because He would not forget about them and He would always care for all of them without exception, and He would show them His mercy and love, His compassion and passionate mercy, as He led them all to the right path and reconciliation with Him, by fulfilling everything that He has promised to them and to their forefathers, of the salvation that He has brought unto them all through the Messiah or the Saviour that He has revealed to them, that is none other than His own Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom the fullness of God’s love and power has been manifested in our midst.

In our second reading this Sunday, we are all reminded by the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews, of the role which our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, the Son of God has taken up at the moment when He accomplished perfectly everything that God had planned in order to save us all mankind. It was the moment when He redeemed and freed all of us mankind from the slavery and domination by sin, evil and darkness, He has become our one and true, Eternal High Priest, the One Who bridged between us and God our loving Father and Creator, from Whom we have once been separated and sundered due to our disobedience and sins, our wickedness and evils. As our High Priest, Our Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour has gathered all of our prayers and needs, our petitions and sorrowful longing for God our loving Father, and He offered all of His prayer and ours together, as He united Himself to us and our humanity, while bearing up the heavy Cross of the burdens of our sins and wickedness, the punishments for all those evils and sins, which He does not have to bear for us, and we should have indeed faced the consequences of our faults and errors, and yet, our Lord willingly and lovingly, selflessly and kindly bore for us those punishments on our behalf, so that by His sufferings and by the breaking of His Most Precious Body and the outpouring of His Most Precious Blood, Christ our Lord may redeem us and lead us all to eternal life and true happiness in God.

For our sins and wickedness, our evils and the corruptions of the darkness around us are so great that no amount of offerings, sacrifices or prayers could have sufficed to atone for our many trespasses and sins, the combined weight of all of our sins and all the burdens of our punishments, except for the one and only worthy offering that is found only in Christ, Who is both our High Priest and also the Paschal Lamb, the Lamb of God, Who has been slaughtered for us on the Altar of His Cross at Calvary. That like the blood of the lamb having saved the Israelites in Egypt during the Passover, thus, through the Most Precious Blood of the Lamb of God, all of us are rescued and saved from the corruption of sin and death, and we have been washed clean by the Blood of the Lamb, made pure and worthy again of God.

As we reflect on the words of the Sacred Scriptures today, we are reminded of the richness of God’s love and mercy, which He has always provided generously to us all, to remind all of us that we are truly beloved and precious in the eyes of God, without exception, and that all of us have the chance and the opportunity to seek full reconciliation and reunion with God, our loving Father and Creator, our Master and Lord, through everything that He had done for us in order to make all of these possible for us. He provided the path for us to return to Him and patiently gave us the guidance and help so that we may find our way and be restored to grace in Him. We are just like Bartimaeus, the blind man who has been healed by God. We may be physically well and have no issues with our eyes and vision, but like Bartimaeus, there is a part of us that is not whole and well, and for all of us, we all suffer from this affliction of sin, which had made us all spiritually unwell and unfit. The Lord is always ready to come and heal us, and to welcome us back to Him, just as He had done and reassured us all through His Son, and everything that He has done for us. But we must first have faith in Him, and seek Him like what Bartimaeus had done, to call on Him and to have the resolve and conviction to follow Him, to find Him and His love, His mercy and compassion. Let us all therefore renew our faith and commitment in the Lord, doing our best to seek Him and to centre our lives and existence on Him, to do our best to live our lives in the manner that He has shown and taught us to do. Let us no longer harden our hearts and minds against Him or resist His patient outreach and love towards us. May God in His infinite grace and mercy, grant us His grace and may the Lord continue to love us all regardless of our rebelliousness and persistence in sin, and help us so that we may be touched and called to repent from all those sins, to change our lives so that from now on we may no longer dwell in sin, but come towards Him ever more faithfully at all times, seeking His mercy and compassion, now and always. Amen 🙏🏽

SAINTS OF THE DAY: MEMORIAL OF SAINT FRUMENTIUS OF ETHIOPIA, BISHOP; SAINT ODRAN, ABBOT AND BLESSED BARTHOLOMEW OF VICENZA, BISHOP – FEAST DAY ~ OCTOBER 27TH: Today, we celebrate the Memorial of Saint Frumentius of Ethiopia, Bishop; Saint Odran, Abbot and Blessed Bartholomew of Vicenza, Bishop.

SAINT FRUMENTIUS OF ETHIOPIA, BISHOP: St. Frumentius was called “Abuna” or “the father” of Ethiopia, he was sent to that land by St. Athanasius. St. Frumentius helped in a great capacity to bring Christianity to Ethiopia. He was born in Lebanon, and was shipwrecked in East Africa while voyaging on the Red Sea with St. Aedesius, possibly his brother. Only St. Frumentius and his brother, St. Aedeius, survived the shipwreck. They were taken to the king at Axum, Ethiopia, and became members of the court. Taken to the Ethiopian royal court at Aksum, they soon attained high positions. St. Aedesius was royal cup bearer, and St. Fruementius was a secretary. When the king died, the two brothers stayed on as part of the queen’s court. She permitted them to introduce Christianity to the country, as well as opening up trade between Ethiopia and the west.They introduced Christianity to that land.

When Abreha and Asbeha inherited the Ethiopian throne from their father, St. Frumentius went to Alexandria, Egypt, to convince St. Athanasius to send missionaries from Alexandria to Ethiopia and he was later consecrated as the bishop of Ethiopia. He converted many people to Christianity before his death in 380. St. Frumentius’ brother, Aedeius, was also canonized. He’s the Patron Saint of Ethiopia.

Saint Frumentius of Ethiopia, Bishop ~ Pray for us 🙏

SAINT ODRAN, ABBOT: St. Odran, also known as Oran, is an Irish missionary. St. Oran or Odran, an Irish Abbot was born in Ireland and served as Abbot of Meath. He was one of the twelve who volunteered to accompanied St. Columba to Scotland as one of his companions (and blood relatives) to bring the faith to Iona, landing in Iona in 563 AD. He is said to have been the first to die on Iona. The group set out in 563 in a small wicker boat covered with leather and on the eve of Pentecost arrived at the island of Iona. St. Odran and his companions quickly set about building a monastery, which went on to become famous throughout the centuries. However, Odran soon became deathly ill and told St. Columba that he would be the first to die there under the Covenant of the Kingdom of God. Columba said to him: “I will gibe you that Kingdom.” Then he blessed Odran and went outside. While walking, Columba gazed upward and had a vision of Odran’s soul being taken to heaven by a band of Angels. Thus, St. Odran was the first of the Irish monks to give his life for the conversion of the people there.

According to Legend, suggests that the chapel which Columba began to build could not stand until someone was buried in the foundations. Odran consented to being buried alive, although some days later Columba uncovered his face to see his friend one last time and Odran tried to climb out of his grave, saying “There is no Hell as you suppose, nor Heaven that people talk about”. Shocked, Columba is said to have quickly obtained more soil to cover the body! St. Odhran died in an efforts to spread the faith in Ireland. St. Odran is said to have founded a monastery at Latteragh in Tipperary. His death occurred around 563. The oldest remaining church on Iona is dedicated to Saint Odran. The surrounding cemetery is called Reilig Odhráin in his memory. St. Odran is the Patron Saint of the parish of Silvermines, County Tipperary. He is regarded as the Patron of Waterford, Ireland, chosen by the Vikings as patron of the city of Waterford in 1096 and later chosen as patron of the diocese.

PRAYER: Lord, amid the things of this world, let us be wholeheartedly committed to heavenly things in imitation of the example of evangelical perfection You have given us in St. Odran the Abbot. Amen 🙏
 
BLESSED BARTHOLOMEW OF VICENZA, BISHOP:
Bl. Bartholomew of Vicenza (1201-1270), also known as Bartholomew of Braganca or Breganza, was born to a noble family in Vicenza, Italy. While studying in Padua he entered the newly established Dominican Order as one of their first friars, receiving the habit from St. Dominic himself. Bartholomew quickly advanced to positions of prominence within the Order, becoming prior and then overseeing several convents. He was sent to preach against the heretics in Lombardy, and was so successful that in 1235 the Holy Father made him Master of the Sacred Palace (an office known as “The Pope’s Theologian”) a position which was first held by St. Dominic. In this role he also founded a military order of knights for the purpose of maintaining civil order and peace throughout Italy called the Order of the Knights of the Mother of God (or the Knights of St. Mary). He was later made bishop of Cyprus, and also served as papal legate and confessor to St. Louis King of France, who was then leading a crusade in the Holy Land. From this friendship Bartholomew received the gift of a relic of the True Cross and a thorn from the Crown of Thorns. When Bartholomew returned to his native Vicenza as the city’s bishop he built a church to house the precious relics called the Church of the Holy Crown. Bl. Bartholomew of Vicenza was an effective mediator between the factions and feuds of his day, even converting the leader of a heretical party back to the Catholic faith. His feast day is October 27th.

Blessed Bartholomew of Vicenza, Bishop ~ Pray for us 🙏

DEVOTION OF THE MONTH OF OCTOBER:

MONTH OF THE HOLY ROSARY: The Catholic Church designates and dedicate October as the Month of the Holy Rosary. During this month the faithful venerate the Blessed Virgin Mary especially under her title of Our Lady of the Rosary, and make special effort to honor the Holy Rosary with group recitations and rosary processions. The Lady of the Rosary honors a large battle between the Catholic Church and the Muslim caliphate of the Ottoman Empire. This battle, in the Gulf of Patras, near Greece, took place in the 16th century, on October 7, 1571. St. Dominic de Guzman, the founder of the Order of Preachers, is the Saint to whom Our Lady famously appeared and gave the prayers of the Holy Rosary to assist him as a spiritual weapon in combating heresy and leading souls back to the one, true Catholic faith. Our Blessed Mother Mary ~ Pray for us 🙏

THE MYSTERIES OF THE ROSARY: Until about the 15th century hundreds of mysteries were part of the Rosary devotion then the 15 mysteries that we know today were definitively fixed as “the Mysteries of the Rosary.” Pope John Paul II, in his encyclical, Rosarium Virginis Mariae, in 2002 added the five Luminous Mysteries.

Through the meditations of the complete Rosary one recalls and has impressed on his mind, the Popes tell us, “the chief mysteries of the Christian religion,” “the mysteries of our Redemption,” “the great mysteries of Jesus and His Mother united in joys, sorrows, and triumphs.” The twenty mysteries are divided into four equal groups, known as “The Joyful,” “The Sorrowful,” “The Glorious,” and “The Luminous Mysteries.”

PRAYER OF ST. LOUISE DE MONTFORT: O Jesus living in Mary, come and live in Your servants, in the spirit of Your holiness, in the fullness of Your might, in the perfection of Your ways, in the truth of Your virtues, in the communion of Your mysteries. Subdue every hostile power, the devil, the world and the flesh, in the strength of Your Spirit, for the glory of Your Father, Amen 🙏🏽
