Mark 10:46–52
"What do you want me to do for you?"
* * *
Scripture Reading
As I begin, I become aware of the Lord present to me, looking upon me with love, desirous of speaking to my heart ...
Prayerfully, I read Mark 10:46–52.
Meditation
I see the crowds, the road as it leaves the city, the blind beggar seated by the road ... I am there with him ... perhaps I take his place, and, now, I am seated there, like him, waiting ...
He seeks to come to Jesus out of his great need, and his hope that in Jesus he will find healing. But he is helpless to approach the Lord ... I sense my own need, my own hope, my own helplessness.
I watch as he pours out his need and his hope in the repeated cry: "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" His cry becomes the cry too of my heart: "Jesus ... have mercy on me!" I make this prayer to the Lord ...
Jesus hears this cry. He stops. He says to the crowd: "Call him." I hear them say to me: "Take heart; rise, he is calling you." I feel my heart begin to lift with newhope ...
I stand before Jesus. Our eyes meet ... I see his face, I hear his words, his question to my heart: "What do you want me to do for you?" Now Jesus and I are alone in the midst of the crowd. And I speak to him from my heart, unhurriedly. I dare to tell him all that I hope he will do for me ... all that I hope for from this time of prayer ...
I say to him: "Master, let me receive my sight." Help me to see! Help me see my way clearly in the doubts and fears that my heart feels; help me to overcome the obstacle that keeps me from the closeness I desire with you ...
And, with Bartimaeus, I experience Jesus' word of healing ... I sense the love that pours out from him and brings healing, brings new hope into my life ...
I follow him along the way ...
After the Prayer
* What word in this Scripture most spoke to my heart?
* What touched my heart in this time of prayer? What did my heart feel as I prayed?
* What did I sense the Lord saying to me?
CHAPTER 2EVERY ONE WHO THIRSTS
Isaiah 55:1-13
"Come, buy wine and milk / without money and without price."
* * *
Scripture Reading
As I begin, I become aware of the Lord present to me, looking upon me with love, desirous of speaking to my heart ...
Prayerfully, I read Isaiah 55:1–13.
Meditation
"Every one who thirsts, / come to the waters ..." I hear the Lord speak these words to me. I tell the Lord of the thirsting of my heart: thirst for meaning, thirst for love, thirst for closeness with him, with others. I tell the Lord of the loneliness my heart experiences, of my sense of insufficiency ...
And I hear the Lord say now to me: If your heart thirsts, come to the waters. ... Come to the waters of the Spirit, the waters of grace ... the waters that alone can quench the deep thirsting of the human heart.
"Come, buy ... / without money and without price." I hear these words of pure invitation; there is no need to have "achieved" something spiritually before I can dare to approach. All that is necessary is to come and to receive God's gift.
"Why do you spend ... / your labor for that which does not satisfy?" Lord, there are so many answers to your question: because I am confused, because I am afraid, because the effort to possess what truly satisfies seems too hard. ... The Lord simply answers me: "Come ..."
"And I will make with you an everlasting covenant, / my steadfast, sure love ..." Lord, I open my heart to your everlasting covenant, your steadfast, sure, love ... a bond of belonging and a love that will never fail ...
"My thoughts are not your thoughts ..." "As the heavens are higher than the earth, / so are my ways higher than your ways." My thoughts see so little ... Your thoughts see so much more, your ways are beyond what I can grasp. Lord, I entrust myself to your thoughts and to your ways, to the mystery of your providence in my life.
The rain and the snow water and make fruitful the earth ..." So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; / it shall not return to me empty." I open my heart to the power of that word, even now, as I pray with this Scripture. ... Lord, fill my emptiness too with the nourishment of your word ...
Now my prayer becomes quiet, deep, receptive ... A silent gratitude wells up within me for the gift of your word that I meditate, Lord, and for its power to renew my life.

CHAPTER 3JESUS' WORDS OF INVITATION
Matthew 11:25–30
"Come to me, all you who labor ..."
* * *
Scripture Reading
As I begin, I become aware of the Lord present to me, looking upon me with love, desirous of speaking to my heart ...
Prayerfully, I read Matthew 11:25–30.
Meditation
I sense the thrill of gratitude in the heart of Jesus as he lifts up his heart to the Father whom he so loves, and by whom he knows himself so deeply loved ... that same Father who says to me, as to Jesus: You are my beloved son, my beloved daughter ...
Jesus thanks his Father that he has revealed the mysteries of the Kingdom not to the self-sufficient ... but to those who feel themselves helpless, dependent on God for everything, like a small infant ... I ask to be such ...
I ask Jesus, the Son who knows the Father, to reveal...
