Simon and Jude Halloween; Blessed Virgin Mary 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. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

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. — Message for World Communications Day January 23, 2015 Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 25, 2015 Page 7 Around the Diocese St. Michael’s Preparatory School St. Michael’s Prep School serves young men of moral commitment and academic potential in a Catholic, five-day boarding setting.

Laguna Beach Trigésimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 25 de octubre de 2015 Page 9 Lecturas y Noticias 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.
