We, in many ways, are like Bartimaeus, the blind man discussed in the gospel today.  Like him, we need Jesus to help us be able to see the many blessings around us.  May we have the same courage as this blind man to beg Jesus to help us ‘see’.  Based on the readings of Jeremiah 31: 7-9; Hebrews 5: 1-6; & Mark 10: 46-52.
