30th Sunday in Ordinary Time

We must be impressed by Bartimaeus’ enthusiastic and courageous decision. Think about it: he embraces the teaching that genuine discipleship entails: humble service, powerlessness, rejection, suffering and death. Bartimaeus had to make one of two tough decisions: to be on his way as Jesus suggested and learn to make a living without the possibility of relying on begging as he had done up to the present time, or to live as a new disciple of Jesus embracing total insecurity along with humble service, powerlessness, rejection, suffering and possible premature death.

Weekly Reflections

Asking, Seeking, and Knocking

In Matthew’s Gospel (7:7-8), Jesus reminds: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

The way to Jerusalem is all uphill and steep and grueling. Furthermore, humanly speaking, Jesus’ decision makes no sense at all. It makes no sense also to…

Effective Missionaries

This Sunday, we are asked to place in the special pink envelope the amount of dollars that our heart inspires us to donate to the work of the foreign missions. However, having said that, I feel compelled to talk to you about the more serious and more demanding contributions that all Catholics ought to give, around the clock, 24/7 to fulfill their missionary obligations. Whenever one in our family is seriously ill, or we find ourselves in a bind, financially,…

Lacking in One Thing

Our first reaction must be: “I do not want my face to fall like the face of the rich, young man. I do not want to walk away from Jesus. I do not want to be sad (cf. Mark 10:21-22). Now, to say the same thing in a positive form we would say: “I want to enter the Kingdom of God.” Jesus again said to them in reply, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is…
