Gospel (Mark 10:46-52)
They came to Jericho. And as he 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, he 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.
This is the truth. Peace be with you.
A reading from the Second Letter of Saint Paul the Apostle to The
Corinthians (10,1-7) Your blessing father,
Brothers and sisters,
I, Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ--I who am
humble when face to face with you, but bold to you when I am away! I beg of you that
when I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count
on showing against some who suspect us of acting in worldly fashion. For though we
live in the world we are not carrying on a worldly war, for the weapons of our warfare
are not worldly but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments
and every proud obstacle to the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to
obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is
complete.
Look at what is before your eyes. If any one is confident that he is Christs, let him
remind himself that as he is Christs, so are we.
Praise be to God always.
