Merciful Jesus, during Your Life on earth
You showed great concern for the sick and
the infirm. Have compassion now on all
those who are sick or in pain. Grant them a
healing of mind and body and restore their
strength and spirit.
You’re never too old or too educated
to learn something new.
Set aside 15 minutes every day as a
period of educating yourself. Read,
work on project, journal etc.
“It’s what you learn after you know it all that
counts.” ~John Wooden
May they experience God’s healing love and
comfort.

The promise of restoration can be monumental
to those who suffer—whether as individuals or
as a people. It means little to the disbelieving,
but everything to those who have some kind of
faith. In today’s gospel, Jesus restores the sight
of Bartimaeus because of his faith. Faith was
essential to his disciples, who were blind to what
Jesus demanded of them. Faith is essential for
us, too, if we are to be made whole. All we need
to do is call out for what we need. Do we have
enough faith to do that?
We lift our hearts in prayer for ourselves and for
others, believing that healing and restoration are
indeed possible.
For the church: that we may be a sign of
restoration and healing to a suffering world…we
pray,
For those who have the power to bring
restoration to the planet and peace and justice to
impoverished and suffering people…we pray,
Let nothing disturb you.
Let nothing affright you.
All things are passing.
God alone never changes.
Patience attains all things.
Who possesses God finds
nothing lacking.
God alone suffices.
~St. Theresa of Avila
For restoration and healing among and between
those at odds over politics, race, gender or
economic disparity…we pray,
For restoration and healing within families and
communities…we pray,
For restoration and healing to those suffering
from addiction, depression, discouragement or
despair…we pray,
For restoration and healing among refugees and
immigrants, prisoners and victims of any kind of
abuse…we pray,
For faith when healing is long coming or does not
meet our expectations or hopes…we pray,
For restoration and healing among the sick, the
dying and the grieving; and for all those who have
died; we pray,

Gracious God, our lives are filled with many
needs for healing.. Grant us courage when our
faith wavers and gratitude when we are healed
and restored. Help us to walk with those whose
pain is overwhelming or whose faith is fragile.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the great healer.
Amen.

“...Ele recuperou a vista e seguia Jesus pelo caminho.”
XXX Dom TC (Ano B): – Jeremias 31,7-9; Salmo 126(125); Hebreus 5,1-6; Marcos 10,46-52
No evangelho, o relato da cura do cego, colocado no fim da caminhada de Jesus a Jerusalém, ressalta que os discípulos precisam
de luz para seguir o Mestre no caminho da paixão. O mendigo cego, Bartimeu, encontra-se sentado à beira do caminho. Ao ouvir
que Jesus estava passando, clama com todas as forças: Jesus, Filho de Davi, tem compaixão de mim (v.47). Jesus se detém e manda chamá-lo, revelando-se como o Messias enviado para manifestar o amor misericordioso de Deus. Ao perceber o chamado, o
cego joga o manto, provavelmente o pano que estendia para receber esmolas, e se aproxima de Cristo. Diante da pergunta de Jesus
“que queres que te faça?” responde com uma profissão de fé: Rabbuni, que eu veja! A expressão de Jesus: Tua fé te salvou (v.52) é
a mesma que ocorre no relato da cura da mulher em 5,34. Assim, a cura tem sentido de salvação. O cego recupera a vista e segue
Jesus pelo caminho, tornando-se verdadeiro discípulo.
Na 1ª leitura, Deus reúne as tribos dispersas e as consola com a alegria da salvação. A cura de cegos e coxos sinaliza a chegada da
salvação messiânica em Cristo, revelando o amor predileto de Deus pelas pessoas marginalizadas. O salmo celebra as maravilhas
do Senhor, na esperança de ver a restauração plena da vida. A 2ª leitura ressalta que Jesus é sacerdote para sempre, segundo a ordem de Melquisedec, servidor do Deus Altíssimo (cf. Gn 14,18-20). Participando da condição humana, Cristo a santifica com a
oferta única e total de sua vida.
O cego Bartimeu representa os que são iluminados pelo Cristo e se comprometem a seguir seu projeto de vida nova. Que possamos
superar os obstáculos, deixar o manto, para ir ao encontro do Salvador e descobrir os sinais de sua presença ao longo do caminho.
(Extraído da Revista de Liturgia)
Oração
Deus eterno e todo-poderoso, aumentai em nós a fé,
a esperança e a caridade e dai-nos amar o que ordenais
para conseguirmos o que prometeis.
Por Cristo, nosso Senhor.
Amém.
Pe. Jonas D. Christal
