Gospel : Mark 10:46-52

46 They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

47 When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, "Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!"

48 Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, "You son of David, have mercy on me!"

49 Jesus stood still, and said, "Call him."
They called the blind man, saying to him, "Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!"

50 He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.

51 Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?"
The blind man said to him, "Rabboni, that I may see again."

52 Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your faith has made you well." Immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus on the way.

Sirach 42:15-25)

15 I will make mention now of the works of the Lord,
And will declare the things that I have seen:
In the words of the Lord are his works.

16 The sun that gives light looks upon all things;
And the work of the Lord is full of his glory.

17 The Lord has not given power to the saints to declare all his marvellous works;
Which the Almighty Lord firmly settled,
That whatever is might be established in his glory.

18 He searcheth out the deep, and the heart,
And he has understanding of their cunning devices:
For the Most High knows all knowledge,
And he looks into the signs of the world,

19 Declaring the things that are past, and the things that shall be,
And revealing the traces of hidden things.

20 No thought escapes him;
There is not a word hid from him.

21 The mighty works of his wisdom he has ordered,
Who is from everlasting to everlasting:
Nothing has been added to them, nor diminished from them;
And he had no need of any counsellor.

22 How desirable are all his works!
One may behold this even to a spark.

23 All these things live and remain for ever in all manner of uses,
And they are all obedient.

24 All things are double one against another:
And he has made nothing imperfect.

25 One thing establishes the good things of another:
And who shall be filled with beholding his glory?
