Today we share some of Jesus' miracle stories. On Sunday we heard about blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10: 46-52). Although he could not physically see, through the strength of his faith he was able to see who Jesus really was. Bartimaeus called out "Son of David, have mercy on me". When Jesus asked him what he wanted, he asked to be able to see. Jesus replied telling him that his faith had healed him.
In the gospels there are other miracle stories of Jesus healing a blind man. The 5 minute video below is one of those. It reminds us that Jesus is the light of the world and that following him we will be able to see more clearly how we should live our lives.
Did you know? On Sunday at children's liturgy we always light a candle to .... why not ask one of the children the reason we light the candle and who it reminds us of.
