How could this blind man see this truth about Jesus?
Jerome Guevara, SJ On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say,“Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.” Mark 10: 46-52 “Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.” What does this prayer mean to us today in this time of pandemic? By being honest and humble about his deepest desires before the Lord, his heart was opened to realize the Truth that God reveals only to the pure in heart, as Jesus did say “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.” The first reading reveals how Our Lord has fulfilled the deepest longing of the people of Israel, “The Lord has delivered his people … I will gather them from the ends of the world, with the blind and the lame in their midst …” and the ones who were once blind would ironically be the ones to recognize and reveal the Messiah to others. Realizing now our priestly role as the people of God, and our mission to pray for others as we recognize and reveal the Messiah in others, what are the deepest longings of your heart in this time of pandemic?
