REFLECTION ON THE GOSPEL Mark 10:46-52 St. WOLFGANG of REGENSBURG Feast on Oct. 31 Today we continue to read from Mark s Gospel. In this Gospel, we find evidence of Jesus fame in the sizable crowd that accompanies him as he journeys to Jerusalem. Jesus reputation as a healer has preceded him. When the blind man, Bartimaeus, hears that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by, he calls out to him, asking for his pity. When Bartimaeus calls out to Jesus, the crowd around him tries to silence him. Yet Bartimaeus persists, calling out more loudly and with greater urgency. He will not be silenced or deterred from getting Jesus attention. We notice how quickly the crowd s reaction changes when Jesus calls for Bartimaeus. Those who sought to quiet him now encourage him. When Jesus restores Bartimaeus s sight, no elaborate action is required. (In other healing stories in Mark s Gospel, actions accompany Jesus words). In this instance, Jesus simply says that Bartimaeus s faith has saved him. Throughout Mark s Gospel, the success of Jesus healing power has often been correlated with the faith of the person requesting Jesus help. For example, it is because of her faith that the woman with the hemorrhage is healed. When faith is absent, Jesus is unable to heal; we see this after his rejection in Nazareth. Once his sight has been restored, Bartimaeus follows Jesus on his way to Jerusalem. In Mark s Gospel, Bartimaeus is the last disciple called by Jesus before he enters Jerusalem. Bartimaeus hears that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by, but he calls out to Jesus using words of faith Son of David. Many in Jesus time believed that the anticipated Jewish Messiah would be a descendent of King David. Bartimaeus s words prepare us for the final episodes of Mark s Gospel, which begin with Jesus preparation for the Passover and his triumphant entry into Jerusalem. As Mark has shown us in our readings over the past few Sundays, however, Jesus will be the Messiah in a way that will be difficult for many to accept. Jesus will show himself to be the Messiah through his suffering and death. https://www.loyolapress.com/our-catholic-faith/liturgical-year/sundayconnection/30th-sunday-in-ordinary-time-b-sunday-connection Wolfgang was born in Swabia, Germany, and was educated at a school located at the abbey of Reichenau. There he encountered Henry, a young noble who went on to become Archbishop of Trier. Meanwhile, Wolfgang remained in close contact with the archbishop, teaching in his cathedral school and supporting his efforts to reform the clergy. At the death of the archbishop, Wolfgang chose to become a Benedictine monk and moved to an abbey in Einsiedeln, now part of Switzerland. Ordained a priest, he was appointed director of the monastery school there. Later he was sent to Hungary as a missionary, though his zeal and good will yielded limited results. Emperor Otto II appointed him Bishop of Regensburg, near Munich. Wolfgang immediately initiated reform of the clergy and of religious life, preaching with vigor and effectiveness and always demonstrating special concern for the poor. He wore the habit of a monk and lived an austere life. The draw to monastic life never left him, including the desire for a life of solitude. At one point he left his diocese so that he could devote himself to prayer, but his responsibilities as bishop called him back. In 994, Wolfgang became ill while on a journey; he died in Puppingen near Linz, Austria. He was canonized in 1052. His feast day is celebrated widely in much of central Europe. Reflection Wolfgang could be depicted as a man with rolledup sleeves. He even tried retiring to solitary prayer, but taking his responsibilities seriously led him back into the service of his diocese. Doing what had to be done was his path to holiness and ours. https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-wolfgang-ofregensburg/ pg. 3
