“Master, I want to see!” - Readings for 5/28/26

About this episode

Sr. Ann reflects on the story of Bartimaeus and the importance of faith and gratitude in prayer.

In today’s Gosel, the blind man Bartimaeus calls out to Jesus to have pity on him. Jesus asks Bartimaeus what he wants, and Bartimaeus boldy says that he wants to see. He believes that Jesus can heal him. Do we approach the Lord with this same faith? And when our prayers are answered, do we remember to thank Him? Sr. Ann reflects on today’s readings: 1 Peter 2:2-5, 9-12 Psalm 100:2, 3, 4, 5 Mark 10:46-52 Sr. Ann’s Books Deeper Conversion Extraordinary Grace for Ordinary Times More of the Holy Spirit Captured By Mercy This is a public episode.
