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.”
