“… I want to see .…”Today’s Gospel has no red tape, no official procedures, no process to get things done. It’s plain and simple. Bartimaeus feels the fire of Jesus’ presence and sees possibilities for a new life. He begins to cry out, and he isn’t going to let the others in the crowd squelch that dream. Perhaps all the people following Jesus, maybe even the apostles themselves, are lazi-ly listening, trailing behind the Master, soaking in what he says. Barti-maeus, however, wants action. He seizes the moment and takes Jesus at his word. Lord, I want to see!Where are you? Is your discipleship lazily moving along? Does it involve Mass on an occasional Sunday, extra donations here and there, Christmas and Easter celebrated in style, token comments on debates over issues that touch on morality? Or do you have a Bartimaeus type of disciple-ship? Do you go straight to Jesus? Do you tell him what you need, what you want? Do you know what you want, what you most deeply want? Do you have a vision for your life as a Christian? Are you growing, chang-ing, maturing? Do you set goals? Do you have groups or companions for accountability? Do you live your relationship with Jesus as the most vital part of your life?

Jesus can make you aware, if you want to be. He can take away your blindness, deafness, confusion, and illusions. He can make your heart soft and compassionate. He can reinstate you in the community. He will do whatever it takes to bind you to him. Don’t just follow the crowd. Don’t just talk about Jesus and his agreeable sayings. Don’t just argue over newspaper headlines about the Catholic Church. Be a Bartimaeus Chris-tian and get something done in your life. What do you really want? Take some time to reflect on that question because when you go to Jesus, he will ask you, “What do you want me to do for you?”

OratioLet the Lord, heal our blindness, that we may see Him wherever he is. He is in the tabernacle in the Church. He is also in the eyes of a tiny child asking for help, or in the calloused hand of a homeless person begging for a handout. He is in a spouse, in a mother or father, in a colleague at work, in students in a classroom, in doctors in the hospital. Lord, we want to see you wherever you are.

Senate committee proposes rollback of pro-life policies

By Matt Hadro Washington D.C., Oct 18, 2021 A Senate committee introduced nine budget bills on Monday that would roll back several pro-life policies, al-lowing for domestic funding of abortions and funding of international pro-abortion groups. As part of the appropriations process for the 2022 fiscal year, the Senate Appropriations Committee on Mon-day released nine bills allocating funding to various federal agencies and programs. The proposals exclude or permanently repeal several pro-life policies, including the Hyde amendment, which prohibits federal funding of abortions in Medicaid. The amendment, first passed in 1976, has to be attached to appropriations bills each year to become law. Dem-ocratic leaders, including President Joe Biden, have targeted the policy for repeal this year, and House in July passed appropriations bills without the policy included. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), seen as a key swing vote in the chamber, stated on Monday that he would not support relevant appropriations bills unless the Hyde amendment was included. “As I have said numerous times before, I will not vote for legislation that does not include the Hyde Amend-ment and I fully expect the final spending bill to include that language,” Manchin stated in a press release on Monday. The policy was excluded from the appropriations bill for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Ser-vices, and Education, and Related Agencies. The Weldon amendment, which blocks funding of state govern-ments that discriminate against people or groups opposed to abortion, was also not included in the bill. The two amendments “for too long have interfered with millions of peoples’ ability to exercise their constitu-tional right to abortion,” stated Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), chair of the Senate Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee. According to appropriations committee vice chairman Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), the bills released on Monday targeted other pro-life policies as well; the appropriations bill for the State Department and Foreign Operations permanently repeals the “Mexico City Policy,” which bars funding of international pro-abortion groups. The Health and Human Services appropriations bill also requires that clinics receiving Title X family planning funding provide abortion drugs, abortion counseling, and abortion referrals. Recently, the Biden administration updated the requirements of the Title X program to allow recipients to provide abortion referrals, but the ad-ministration does not require clinics to provide them. “Democrat senators are marching in lockstep with Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and the radical abortion lobby over the will of the American people and the lives of the vulnerable. Not only do they want to expand abortion on demand here at home, but they also want to make the United States the number one exporter of abortions overseas,” stated Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List. Pro-abortion groups on Monday applauded the proposed removal of the pro-life policies. The Twitter account for Planned Parenthood Action called the bills “historic,” stating, “It's VERY exciting (a historic shift!) to see bills that end many abortion coverage bans and prioritize funding for family planning/sexual and reproductive health care programs and programs that address the maternal health crisis.” Ma! Hadro is the poli"cal editor at Catholic News Agency. He previously worked as CNA senior D.C. correspondent and as a press secretary for U.S. Congressman Chris Smith.

Christ’s disguised victory: Suffering, if we let it, can make us holier

FR. CHARLES FOX Oct 12, 2021 It is easy to overstate how often certain themes appear in Sacred Scripture. But I think it is impossible to overstate the emphasis God places in the Scriptures on the role of humility and suffering in the Christian life. The examples are too numerous to name. We are to take up our crosses to follow Jesus. God loves the one whom He chastises. Learn from me, Our Lord says, for I am meek and humble of heart. Take up your cross and follow me — or you won’t be worthy of me. We can’t say He hasn’t warned us! At the same time, even using the word “warned” reminds me that, actually, Jesus almost never makes these teachings about our discipleship sound like a warning. Once in a while He does, like when He says in John 15:20, at the Last Supper, “If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.” But usually — in part, I suppose, because He knows our weakness so well — He tucks in a reference to some kind of blessing. The Beatitudes are chock full of promised rewards for suffering, for example. But the first reward we ought to have in mind, if we can muster up enough greatness of heart to think of it, is the reward that comes from the sheer fact of imitating Jesus. Simply to do as Our Lord did, to follow Him on the Way of the Cross, to serve as He served, to love as He loved, is its own blessing and reward. In some measure, that is the lesson of this Sunday’s Gospel (Mark 10:35-45). We should not rush to join the 10 disciples who are ready to turn on James and John. They resented the brothers’ impetuosity at asking for a big-time reward for following Jesus. They implored Jesus, “Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left.” First, we need to ask ourselves in all honesty: Am I so free of ambition? Am I so very much at peace with the rewards God has promised, or do I crave more? Do I not sometimes wonder why God doesn’t do more for me? Secondly, we need to admit our weakness in the area of pride, to repent of it, and to entrust ourselves to the Lord. This is the only way we can take the next step, the decisive step: taking up our crosses and following Jesus. We can’t “drink the cup” of Jesus, the cup of suffering, the cup of service, without His help. That is because it goes very much against our grain to see victory under any terms but the obvious: with tro-phies and champagne or balloons falling out of the rafters. Victory, in the world’s terms, brings money and fame and power. But the victory of Jesus is a disguised victory. We might call it a “stealth” victory. It is a bloody victory, but the blood is not that of Jesus’ enemies. It’s His blood! And so the question for you and for me becomes: Am I willing to give my blood for this victory? Which is to say: Am I willing to give my life for this victory? Because blood equals life. Am I willing, not to make my life as bright and sparkly as possible, but to give my life away? Sunday’s first reading from the Book of Isaiah (53:10-11) tells us, “The LORD was pleased to crush him in infirmity.” What does that mean for me? Is the Lord pleased to crush me? The answer is yes, but we need to remember that God will never call us to something for which He will not also prepare and empower us. And the “crushing” that happens to us is like the crushing of a grape in order to make wine. It’s not pleasant, maybe. It’s not the way of the lazy or the comfortable or those who seek glory for themselves. But it does produce something of far greater value. How many people would pay $100 for a cluster of grapes? No one, but they’ll pay that and more for a choice bottle of wine. When our sufferings crush us, we can be confident that we are very close to Our Lord cont. pg. 5

fm. pg. 3 in those moments. We have a real opportunity to grow into the likeness of Jesus who is the sympathetic high priest about whom we hear in Sunday’s second reading (Hebrews 4:14-16). Jesus does not merely point out the way to us. He is the way. He has shown us how to do what He calls us to do.It is getting harder these days to live the Christian life. We don’t have the supports we once had. We’re not surrounded by people who believe in Jesus. We don’t have a society built upon faith in God. Even the freedom to live according to our own faith is sometimes threatened.At such a time, we might not find things easy, but we have good reasons to be at peace:The Church has been through such times before, times of severe persecution. And she has come out of those times even stronger, which is to say, holier.Again, Jesus told us it would be like this. He told us that suffering and persecution would be a part of life in this world.We have a tremendous opportunity to grow as disciples, to become more humble and holy and to grow in friendship with Our Lord.So whatever we’re finding challenging right now — our temptations to sin, loving our family members or friends, being honest at work, sickness, financial setbacks, or being faithful citizens of an increasingly secular nation — we should have the confidence. Our confidence comes from knowing that all we have to do is follow Jesus, to live for God’s glory, no matter what the cost, and we will share in His life and glory forever.We can even begin to taste the goodness of this life and glory here on earth. That’s exactly what happens every time we celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Words on the Word

October 24, 2021 – Finding a Home Anyone who has ever been away from home for a period of #me, unplanned, knows how disconcer#ng the experi-

ence can be. Maybe it was due to an unexpected weather event. Or a loss of power. Or a family medical emergency of some

kind. Regardless, the departure from a normal rou#ne, and a separa#on from the normal “stuff” we use on a day-to-day basis can cause disrup#on.

Heck, even when we’ve been away on vaca#on – which is clearly something undertaken by choice – there is al-ways a certain sense of relief in geLng back into the normal flow. “It’s nice to go away,” people oSen say, “but it’s nice to get back home, too.”

So it is certainly with a certain sense of empathy that we read stories of foreign refugees who, in the most dra-ma#c and difficult circumstances, have been forced from their homes and are aXemp#ng to find a new sense of nor-malcy.

The M-Live news portal a few weeks ago reported that “refugee reseXlement agencies expect more Afghan refu-gees will come to Michigan during the next few months than in the last decade combined.”

That number, the story said, could be up to 1,300 people displaced by the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. It’s a terribly difficult situa#on with no quick answer, to be sure. But those displaced people – and all of us – might

take solace in knowing that God has been down roads like this before, and he’ll see them through. “Behold I will bring them back from the land of the north,” we hear God say of his people Israel in today’s first

reading from the prophet Jeremiah. “I will gather them from the ends of the world, with the blind and the lame in their midst, the mothers and those

with child; they shall return as an immense throng. They departed in tears, but I will console them and guide them. © 2021, Words on the Word
