October 28, 2012, 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time: Jeremiah 31:7-9; Hebrews 5:1-6; Mark 10:46-52

Suggested Reflection Questions:

• Bartimaeus makes a bold and direct request of Jesus, and Jesus responds by immediately giving him sight. How do you talk to God? Is your prayer as bold and direct as Bartimaeus’?
• When have you received a clear answer to your prayers? When has the answer been less than clear?
• How has God given you consolation and guidance throughout your life, perhaps even at times when it might have seemed like your prayers went unanswered?
