TRUE BLINDNESS
Bartimaeus caused a stir. Normally he sat by the side of the road being a “good blind beggar.” But one
day Jesus passed nearby. Bartimaeus jumped up and called out to Jesus. We can imagine him turning toward the direction of the commotion and noise. Bartimaeus probably had his arms outstretched as he
shouted out to the son of David.
The people who knew him were embarrassed by his outburst. They tried to hush him up and get him to
sit back down by the roadside. Their actions spoke volumes: “Bartimaeus, you’re not fit for Jesus.” But it
was okay for them and other “sighted” people to follow Jesus. In today’s readings, we learn that true
blindness is not a condition of our eyes but of our hearts.

Pope Francis Speaks to Families
From Pope Francis Speak to Families, Words of Joy and Life. The WORD among us
A Better Future for the World
The family is a community which provides help, which celebrates life and is fruitful.
Once we realize this, we will once more be able to see how the family continues to
be a rich human resource, as opposed to a problem or an institution in crisis. At
times the media can tend to present the family as a kind of abstract model which
has to be accepted or rejected, defended or attacked, rather than as a living reality.
Or else a ground for ideological clashes rather than as a setting where we can all
learn what it means to communicate in a love received and returned. Relating our
experiences means realizing that our lives are bound together as a single reality, that
our voices are many, and that each is unique.
Families should be seen as a resource rather than as a problem for society. Families
at their best actively communicate by their witness the beauty and the richness of
the relationship between man and woman, and between parents and children. We
are not fighting to defend the past. Rather, with patience and trust, we are working
to build a better future for the world in which we live.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En varias ocasiones, Jesús le declara
al recién sanado: “tu fe te ha salvado” (Marcos 10:52). Todos los cristianos deseamos ser salvados. Y, ¿qué es
la salvación? La palabra “salvación”
viene del latín salus que también significa “salud”. La salvación es el bienestar en todas sus formas. Es el estar bien
con Dios, con las demás personas, con
la creación y consigo mismo. Los hebreos le llaman shalom y los árabes llaman salam que quiere decir: “paz y
bien”. Por siglos y hasta el presente, el
saludo de los pueblos semitas es: “La
paz sea contigo”. Se responde “Y también contigo”.
VERDADERA CEGUERA
Bartimeo causó tremenda conmoción. Por lo
regular él estaba sentado al borde del camino siendo un “buen mendigo ciego”. Pero un buen día pasó Jesús cerca de ahí. Bartimeo se puso de pie en
un salto y le gritó a Jesús. Nos podemos imaginar
como se daba vuelta en dirección al ruido y la conmoción. Probablemente tenía los brazos extendidos al gritarle al hijo de David.
Según Jesús este shalom, salam, salus, salvación, paz y bien se consigue
por medio de la fe. Hay que tener un
deseo profundo de tenerlo, para así pedirlo: “Jesús, Hijo de David, ten piedad
de mí” (Marcos 10:47). La salvación no
llega a quienes la esperan sentados en
una iglesia, más bien, llega a los que se
mueven y obran por ella.
Los que lo conocían se sentían azorados de sus
gritos. Trataron de hacerle callar y que se volviera
a sentar al borde del camino. Sus acciones decían
mucho: “Bartimeo, tú no eres digno de Jesús”. Pero sí estaba bien que ellos y otras personas “con
vista” siguieran a Jesús. En las lecturas de hoy,
aprendemos que la verdadera ceguera no es una
condición de los ojos sino del corazón.
