ST. MARY MAGDALEN CATHOLIC COMMUNITY 30TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME 28 OCTOBER 2018

ST. MARY MAGDALEN PARISH MISSION STATEMENT

We, the Catholic Community of St. Mary Magdalen Embrace our baptismal commitment to Christ Live a life of faith, service, and worship Seek to transform the world through prayer & evangelization

“The blind man replied” Master, I want to see.”Jesus told him, “Go your way; your faith has saved you”

Lord, I want to see.

Blind Bartimaeus calls out to

Jesus for healing. What needs

healing is his sight. How long

has he been blind? What will

he see with new sight and vision? We too

must face our own blindness as we ask Jesus

to see. So many things go unnoticed by our

view.

Do we want to be healed? Do we see fami-

lies struggling in division and brokenness?

Do we see some of our government policies

that hurt the poor, or refugees that beg an un-

willing world for help? Or people betrayed

by their own church?

Please Lord, as you restore our sight to see

the wrongs and the pains of our world, give

us also the courage and guidance of how to

respond better to the many needs in our

world.

Loving Jesus, open my eyes to see what you

want me to see. And let me respond with

your healing heart to care for those around

me. Guide me to remember that you will be

with me when I see some of the painful situ-

ations around me and show me

how to help. Amen.
