Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

“Master, I Want To See.”

These famous words of Bartimaeus, the Blind Man of Jericho, ring in our ears today. We all want to know the truth. Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life.

We are so often blinded by the world. We are blinded by lies and hate. The world wants us to be silent. We must be hopeful and excited about calling out to God in prayer. We are all blind beggars calling out to God all the more. We cannot and must not stay silent. We all want to see, literally and spiritually.

“Take courage; get up, Jesus is calling you.”

We must be excited and enthusiastic about being called by Jesus. Take courage and stand up to evil and say no to laws that will ruin and destroy lives.

Jesus was going to Jerusalem. That road leads to The Cross. The Cross leads to Resurrection and to Eternal Life. I will follow you on the way to Heaven. I will not leave you and I will not take the wrong road which leads to perdition.

We begin an Election Novena on Sunday. You can find the prayers online at: www.praymorenovenas.com/election-novena.
