TOPIC: ARE THERE HIDDEN BLIND SPOTS IN MY LIFE THAT KEEP ME FROM TRULY DRAWING® CLOSER TO JESUS?

First Reading: Jeremiah 31: 7-9
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 126: 1-2, 2-3, 4-5, 6
Second Reading: Hebrews 5: 1-6
Alleluia: Second Timothy 1: 10
Gospel: Mark 10: 46-52

In today's Gospel, Mark 10:46-52, Jesus invites us to reflect on what could be the "blind spots" in our own lives that are preventing us from living a life with Jesus. He stops for Bartimaeus, reminding us that God is always attentive to those in need, even when the world tells them they are unimportant.

Bartimaeus teaches us that even in moments of rejection or discouragement, faith gives us the courage to keep calling out.

Faith opens doors to healing and transformation. God sees us, even when others dismiss us.

This is the 1645th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.

[NOTE: Let us listen to our brother Israel Silud, Regional Coordinator for East Asia, as he brings us today's reflection.

All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives. This video is also available on Couples for Christ’s Facebook page. In You Tube, just type ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS]
