ST. MARY CHURCH CHILLICOTHE, OHIO OCTOBER 25, 2015 TODAY’S LITURGY FIRST READING: SECOND READING: GOSPEL: Jeremiah 31:7-9 Hebrews 5:1-6 Mark 10:46-52 The gospel passage is the beginning of the end of the journey of Jesus from Galilee to Jerusalem, the city of destiny. Appropriately it takes place as Jesus is leaving Jericho on his way up to Jerusalem, a journey of about eighteen miles. It would have been the last pilgrim stop before the final big push up to Jerusalem. The “sizable crowd” in his company was, no doubt, other pilgrims on the way to Jerusalem for the pending celebration of the feast of Passover. One of the fixtures at ancient city gates in the Near East was the presence of those who had to beg alms, especially the blind and the lame. It was thus quite normal to find our beggar, Bartimaeus, there. Upon hearing that it was “Jesus of Nazareth” passing by, Bartimaeus (“the son of Timaeus” in Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke) called out to “Jesus, Son of David” for mercy. The “many” who rebuked him and tried to shut him up are not specified, so we don’t know who they were, nor why they would have tried to silence the man. In Mark, he is the only one who calls Jesus “son of David” The action comes in short bursts. “Jesus, stopping, said “Call him.” So they say to the blind man in four Greek words: “Take courage, get up, he is calling you.” The action continues as he throws off his cloak (likely what he had in his lap, containing whatever alms he had been able to beg) and then leaping up, he came to Jesus. Here we have a subtle but dramatic contrast with the man of many possessions who came to Jesus looking for a way to guarantee his inheritance of eternal life, mentioned in the Gospel two weeks ago. There, the man could not part with his many possessions, the one thing which would have guaranteed him what he sought. Here we have a blind beggar who, once he was called by Jesus, throws away everything he had received while begging when he throws off his cloak, and springs up to come to Jesus, because Jesus has called him. In further contrast, Jesus asks Bartimaeus what he wants Jesus to do for him, whereas the rich man had come to Jesus asking Jesus to offer him a sure way of inheriting eternal life. Bartimaeus asks simply and literally, “Lord that I may see,” but he does so only after Jesus had asked him what he wanted. But the blind man saw more clearly than the man with many possessions ever would and for this reason Jesus acknowledges that “your faith has saved you.” With that the man receives his sight and does precisely what the man with many possessions would not do...he followed Jesus “on the way!” Whether he did so as a disciple or not is debated but the context certainly suggests that that is what Mark intended. By throwing aside his cloak and leaping up, he rids himself of all the alms he had received (meaning all or most of his possessions) for the chance to “see” Jesus, the Son of David as he had shouted. His actions quite clearly demonstrate that he already “sees” more than most and certainly more than the man who wanted to know what he had to do to inherit eternal life or any of his disciples. This man “sees” with the eyes of faith and once he sees he acts, giving away all of his possessions (symbolized by the cloak he throws away) and becomes a disciple of Jesus. Would that we could all see with the eyes of faith like the blind beggar Bartimaeus!

OCTOBER IS RESPECT LIFE MONTH Every Life is Worth Living Whether it lasts for a brief moment or lasts for a hundred years, each life is a good and perfect gift. At every stage and in every circumstance, we are held in existence by God’s love. Our relationships on earth are meant to help us and others grow in perfect love. We are meant to depend on one another, serve each other in humility, and walk together in times of suffering. An elderly man whose health is quickly deteriorating; an unborn baby girl whose diagnosis says she may not live very long; a little boy with Downs Syndrome; a mother facing terminal cancer – each may have great difficulties and need our assistance, but each of their lives is a good and perfect gift. Experiencing suffering – or watching another suffer - is one of the hardest human experiences. But we are not alone. Christ experienced suffering more deeply than we can comprehend, and our own suffering can be meaningful when we unite it with His. Jesus is with us every step of the way, giving us the grace we need. God invites us to embrace the lives we have been given, for as long as they are given. Every life is worth living.
