Weekly Reflection:
In todays Gospel, Bartimaeus, a man who is blind, asks to be healed. Because of his faith, Jesus gives him sight. How are we spiritually blind to the presence of God in our lives? In what ways does our spiritual blindness need healing?

Isaac Hecker Quote Let him, therefore, who would serve the Catholic Church in this generation, show her in her own true light, in her unity and universality, in all her beauty and majesty. It is this true vision of her divinity that will captivate mans intelligence, secure the unbidden homage of his will, and elicit his most heroic devotedness. [The Church and the Age, 1887] Paulist Fathers Mission Statement We give the Word of God a voice in pulpits and print, on radio and television, on the Web and the wide screen. We search out those who have no church home, and welcome home those who have been away. We share the passion of St. Paul for unity in faith and solidarity in mission among all the baptized in the body of Christ. We build bridges of respect and collaboration with people of other world religions. We welcome people of diverse racial and cultural backgrounds in our parish, city center and campus worshipping communities. The Gospel we preach calls for all the children of God to be treated with dignity and justice. We claim Isaac Hecker as our founder, the Holy Spirit as our primary guide, St. Paul as our patron and laity as our valued partners in mission. We are the Paulist Fathers.
