Fr. Witold Kaczmarzyk preaches about the Gospel for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time on October 24, 2021. -- "The blind man replied to him, 'Master, I want to see.' Jesus told him, 'Go your way; your faith has saved you.' Immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way." (Mark 10:51-52) -"He threw aside his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus." (Mark 10:50) Holding on to this cloak was the key, that was everything he had. So actually throwing aside his cloak, he took a 100 percent risk to leave everything he had. -Fr. Witold -Each one of us has this kind of cloak in our lives, whatever it is. This cloak says that this was something that the blind man depended on. All his happiness was there. That's what each one of us has in our lives, this kind of self-sufficient, "I can do whatever I want," I'm holding onto something, I don't need God. -Fr. Witold -For each one of us, there is something—this kind of cloak that we hold onto—and we need to find it out and make a decision like the blind man. Take the risk, throw it aside, and just go to Jesus so he can do a Catholic LASIK in less than five seconds so you can see. -Fr. Witold -"Every high priest is taken from among men and made their representative before God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins." (Hebrews 5:1) -Be always honest with [Jesus]. He knows what's here. So call out like the blind man.... Talk to Him like a friend, like your brother, your sister, your spouse. Be honest, because if we are honest, He really helps. -Fr. Witold -Find out: What is your cloak? What is the thing that you think brings you happiness, and just make a decision that that is not the right thing. Jesus is the one who brings happiness, who can heal you, who brings your vision back so you can see the world. -Fr. Witold
