30th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Christ Giving Sight to Bartimaeus - William Blake

We pray that every baptized person may be engaged in evangelization, available to the mission, by being witnesses of a life that has the flavour of the Gospel.

of Pope Francis

Evangelization often gets a bad rap.

It’s the song by our favorite musician that we always skip. It’s the call we let go to voicemail. It’s the kiosk in the store we have to walk by.

Dr. Scott Hahn - Seeing the Son of David: Today’s Gospel turns on an irony—it is a blind man, Bartimaeus, who becomes the first person outside of the Apostles to recognize Jesus as the Messiah. And his healing is the last miracle Jesus performs before entering the holy city of Jerusalem for His last week on earth. The scene on the road to Jerusalem evokes the joyful procession prophesied by Jeremiah in today’s First Reading. In Jesus this prophecy is fulfilled. read more...
