Saving Faith
Bartimaeus, the blind man, is healed of his blindness by Jesus in this Sunday's gospel reading.
The joyful and trusting faith of Bartimaeus is both an example for us and an encouragement to us. It is a reminder that faith saves us, liberates us, and draws us deeper into the mystery of our redemption, which is presented to us at every Holy Mass.
The statue in the photograph is Jesus healing blind Bartimaeus, by Johann Heinrich Stöver, 1861
