HE JUMPED UP AND WENT

PRAYER MOMENT

HE JUMPED UP AND WENT

Pause. Allow yourself to be still.

Reading. “Courage,” they said, “he is calling up.” So throwing off his cloak, he jumped up and went to Jesus.” (Mark 10:46-52)         

Reflection. The story of Bartimaeus is a summary of the whole gospel. Jesus comes. People notice. A few respond. You can sense the enthusiasm of Bartimaeus. “The people who lived in darkness have seen a great light.” He follows Jesus along the way.   

Prayer. Help us, Lord, to know what we want like Bartimaeus. Give us the courage to brush aside objections and discouragement as he did. Teach us to follow you along “the way.”
