THIRTIETH ORDINARY SUNDAY
The story of Bartimaeus teaches us that, if we seek Christ actively,
Christ can renew our vision. Do I seek Christ? Where do I look?
Do I make time to seek him as I should?
Do I act as if he were a mere figure from the past?

SAINTS OF THE WEEK
(SS Simon & Jude, Wednesday)
The name of Simon is placed eleventh in the list of apostles and nothing
is known of him except that he was born at Cana and was known as the Zealot.
Jude, also called Thaddaeus, was the apostle who, at the Last Supper,
asked the Lord why he showed himself only to his disciples and not to the world (John 14:22).
