Today Christ calls us to love God and neighbor. What we do shows what we love. What do you love?

If you want to follow Jesus, you have to see him first. Do you see him? Have you ever really tried?

Just before Jesus heals Blind Bartimeaus, he calls him. Before in St. Mark’s Gospel, the only people called by Jesus were his disciples. Jesus calls us now in this unique moment as a parish—to do what he tells Bartimeaus: Follow me.
