And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on ...read more

Thirtieth Sunday In Ordinary Time, B: Bartimaeus

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 11, 2024

Jesus never gave any person with a disability, who was begging, money or any material goods.

Bartimaeus, called “a blind man,” in Mark 10:46, is begging on Jericho Street, we hear in our Gospel today, and a verse from the First Reading, Jeremiah 31:8, describes those such as him as the “blind and the lame.” Today, we would be more sensitive and say that Bartimaeus is “person who is blind; ...read more

Servant Leadership Involves Pain--Even In Election Season

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 16, 2024

One of the two major parties has made abortion this voting cycle their preeminent priority. Let's look at the morality behind that divide.

Was The Lord Pleased To Crush Jesus?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 16, 2024

God didn’t watch and enjoy the show; God gave everything so that we could participate in that “divine comedy” and experience for ourselves the happy ending.

Glory Of Christian Leadership

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024

Many people treated Jesus like a celebrity as they followed Him from place to place, listened to His teaching, observed His miracles, and sought healing from His touch. Yet Jesus was never self-important or aloof, but available to all.

Opening illustration: In today’s celebrity-obsessed culture, it isn’t surprising that entrepreneurs are marketing “celebrities as products … allowing them to sell their personal time and attention.” Vauhini Vara’s article in The New Yorker noted that for $15,000, you can have a personal meeting ...read more

Contributed by Chris Swanson on May 21, 2023

Jesus teaches about serving others. We are not to think too highly of ourselves in the service of the Lord.

In this passage of Scripture, Mark is telling us what Jesus teaches about serving others. This concurs with the story in Matthew 20:20-28. Mark records that John and James went to Jesus with their appeal; in Matthew, their mother likewise made the petition. There is no logical inconsistency in the ...read more
