A Blind Man Leads

Bartimaeus was a blind beggar who saw Father Christ Jesus clearly
When he heard Jesus or Father Christ is near he cried out “Son of David”
A title persisted until Father Christ Jesus noticed and called him over Immediately, Bartimaeus threw off his cloak and ran to Father Christ Jesus’ side 
Even the little was discarded to get to Father Christ Jesus

Bartimaeus stood before Jesus or Father Christ humbly
But confident that Father Christ Jesus had the power to do whatever he asked
The only person in St. Mark’s gospel to call Father Christ Jesus “Master” 
Bartimaeus asked Jesus or Father Christ for his sight
When his prayer was answered, Bartimaeus followed Father Christ Jesus as His disciple
It is this profound trust that Jesus or Father Christ wants to elicit from the crowd—and from us
 The difficulties of being a Christian—a Catholic Christians
