Bartimaeus can see with the eyes of faith that Jesus is the one he has been waiting for. He keeps calling Jesus until Jesus calls him, then he leaves everything to follow Jesus. Jesus is leading home to the heavenly kingdom all who have heard his call and followed him. We gather at Sunday Mass to experience ongoing encounter with God's love and truth that brings us into wholeness and communion. Jesus desires to give us emotional and spiritual healing, and eventually all physical healing. We need to keep calling on Jesus until he calls upon us: "Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!"
