The prayer of the blind Bartimeus, "Lord, please let me see" (Lk 18:42). could easily be ours. Some of us might need physical sight, yes, but the rest of us seek to know God's plan for us, how best we can use the marvelous gifts of grace he has given us: our humility, tenderness, compassion, patience, endurance, strength, insight, presence, desire to help others and love. What is God's plans for our best use of them? Our plea will not go unheeded, though the answer may not be as swift as was granted to Bartimeus. He called out so loudly and persistently that others rebuked him and tried to shush him, making him shout all the more until Jesus noticed him. Like his, may our prayers be as strong and persistent that we too may SEE. Bartimeus, help us to pray as you did.
