I am super slammed on many fronts right now and didn't get to it today. Leave your impressions of it below.
As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd,
Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus,
sat by the roadside begging.
On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth,
he began to cry out and say,
“Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.”
And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent.
But he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have pity on me.”
Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”
So they called the blind man, saying to him,
“Take courage; get up, Jesus is calling you.”
He threw aside his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.
Jesus said to him in reply, “What do you want me to do for you?”
The blind man replied to him, “Master, I want to see.”
Jesus told him, “Go your way; your faith has saved you.”
Immediately he received his sight
and followed him on the way. Mk 10:46-52
Today's readings are amazing! Here are some thoughts for you, today.
I'm curious: what word did you all choose for 2026, if you chose one? I chose NEW, which might seem like cheating because it's a NEW year, but I think it fits. Anyway, happy NEW year! 😄
I want to wish each and every one of you a Happy New Year 2026 and may we all deepen our faith, get closer to God and our loved ones, and experience a year of good health, financial solvency and much joy. God bless the souls of all those loved ones we lost in 2025.
