For Community Meditation

Growing in Knowledge

  • Jesus again predicts his death and resurrection. Why does he keep reminding them?
  • In what ways does blind Bartimaeus "see" more than the disciples and the crowd? Where have you 'seen' things but not really perceived/understood?

Feeling Life Deeply

  • Who or what in your life causes you to stop?
  • If Jesus were to ask you, "What do you want me to do for you?" How would you answer?
  • Are you afraid to live for his glory, serving others and not being about your own greatness?

Living with Courage

  • Who are the marginalized people in your sphere of influence? How can you help point them to 'the way'?
