The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Clause

The Lord be with you. And also with you.A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark. Glory to you Lord.

+ May the gospel always be on my mind, on my lips, and in my heart.

As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son ofTimaeus, sat by the roadside begging. On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say,"Jesus, son of David, have pity on me." And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he kept calling outall the more, "Son of David, have pity on me." Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called the blind man,saying to him, "Take courage; get up, Jesus is calling you." He threw aside his cloak, sprang up, and came toJesus. Jesus said to him in reply, "What do you want me to do for you?" 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 andfollowed him on the way.

2667 - This simple invocation of faith developed in the tradition of prayer under many forms in Eastand West. The most usual formulation, transmitted by the spiritual writers of the Sinai, Syria, and Mt.Athos, is the invocation, "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us sinners." It combines theChrist°logical hymn of Philippians 2:6-11 with the cry of the publican and the blind men begging forlight. By it the heart is opened to human wretchedness and the Savior's mercy.

2616 - Prayer to Jesus is answered by him already during his ministry, through signs that anticipatethe power of his death and Resurrection: Jesus hears the prayer of faith, expressed in words (theleper, Jairus, the Canaanite woman, the good thief) or in silence (the bearers of the paralytic, thewoman with a hemorrhage who touches his clothes, the tears and ointment of the sinful woman). Theurgent request of the blind men, "Have mercy on us, Son of David" or "Jesus, Son of David, havemercy on me!" has-been renewed in the traditional prayer to Jesus known as the Jesus Prayer: "LordJesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!" Healing infirmities or forgiving sins, Jesusalways responds to a prayer offered in faith: "Your faith has made you well; go in peace."

548 - The signs worked by Jesus attest that the Father has sent him. They invite belief in him. Tothose who turn to him in faith, he grants what they ask. So miracles strengthen faith in the One whodoes his Father's works; they bear witness that he is the Son of God. But his miracles can also beoccasions for "offence"; they are not intended to satisfy people's curiosity or desire for magic Despitehis evident miracles some people reject Jesus; he is even accused of acting by the power of demons.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO YOU

You are writing each day a letter to othersTake care that the writing is true.'Tis the only gospel some people will read,That gospel according toot'.

There's a sweet old story translated for usBut written the long long ago—The Gospel according to Marl; Luke and John—Of Christ and his mission below.

You are writing a gospe4 a chapter each day,By deeds that you do, by words that you say.Others read what you write, whether faithless or true.Say, what is the gospel according to you?

We read and admire the gospel of ChristWith its love so unfailing and true;But what do they say, and what do they thinkOf the gospel according to you.

iTis a wonderful story, that gospel of love,As it shines in the Christ-life divine,And, oh, that its truth might be told againIn the story ofyour life and mine.

Unselfishness mirror in every scene,Love blossom on every so4And back from its vision the heart comes to tellThe wonderful goodness of God

BENEFITS OF PRAYINGWe Christians pray not only to adore and thank God, not

only to ask him for things or to express sorrow, not justbecause Jesus asks us to. We also pray because we getsomething out of it, something of great value.

We do have the promise of the Lord himself that prayerwill deepen our relationship to God. But will a steady diet ofprayer result in any visible benefits?

Pray-ers believe they receive many benefits from a lifeof prayer. Here are some of the ones most frequently men-tioned:

• Prayer contributes to a sense of self-worth.In prayer we get in touch with our real selves. We discoverthat God loves us and that he abides with us forever. Wediscover that we are worthwhile and important.

• Prayer gives us more energy. Busy people arealways on the go. A 24•hour day Is too short for them. Butmany pray-ers have discovered that 20 minutes given toprayer energizes them. In contacting the Holy Spirit, they aregiven more spirit to accomplish their tasks. Prayer has acalming effect and renews us for the many tasks of the daythat have to be done.

• Prayer has a healing effect. When we meet theDivine Physician in prayer, we are healed. He touches andcures our emotional hurts. He forgives our sin and relievesour guilt over harm we have caused.

PRAYER REFLECTIONDo not be afraid, for I have redeemed you;I have called you by your name, you are mine.Should you pass through the sea, I will be with

you;or through rivers, they will not swallow you up.Should you walk through fire, you will not be

scorched -and the flames will not burn you.For I am Yahweh, your God,the Holy One of Israel, your savior.

-Isaiah 43:1-3

• Prayer leads to happiness. We live in an age whenpeople pursue happiness with a vengeance. But all too oftenwe look in the wrong place, in things or money or sex. Theseonly satisfy us for a time. In prayer we discover that our truesource of happiness is God; only he can fulfill us and all thesecret longings of our heart. After a life of pleasure-seeking,St. Augustine came to the conclusion that God made us witha restless heart, a heart that continually longs for happiness.Augustine concluded that the heart remains restless until itrests in God, the only one who can satisfy our cravings forhappiness.

and not be affected. To meet the God of love will make usmore loving. To meet the Lord is to discover his will for us. AsDanish theologian Soren Kierkegaard observed: "Prayer doesnot change God, but changes the one who prays." St. Teresacompared prayer to watering a garden. Just as water pro-duces good plants in a garden, so prayer produces virtues inthe one who prays. These virtues include faith, hope, love,humility, sensitivity to others, a compassionate heart and adesire to work for God's kingdom.

• Prayer helps solve our problems. Many people findthat prayer helps them solve their problems. They find thatthe source of many of their problems is needless worry. Thepsychologist William James saw prayer as the best cure forworry. Insights will often come to us when we settle down topray and open up to the Lord. These Insights aid us In theeveryday problems with which we live.

There are many benefits to prayer. None is greater,though, than deepening our relationship with a God wholoves us very much. We will only discover these benefits, wewill only deepen our relationship with our divine friend, if wetake the risk and have the courage to pray. May the Lord giveyou this courage to risk knowing him better.

It is easy to pray imaginatively with the gospels. Here's howto do it. •1. Calm down. Find a restful prayer position. Breathe slowly

and deeply- Let the cares of the day drain from you.2. Next, enter into the presence of the Lord. Imagine Tesus

next to you assuring you of his love- Look at his features:his clothing, the length and color of his hair, his complex-ion, his smile, his eye& Feel him putting his arm aroundyou.

3. Now pick up a gospel passage. Put yourself and Jesus intothe passage. For example, make yourself a thwarter in thestory Use all your senses — sight, smell, touch, taste,hearing. Listen carefully to the words of the passage..Pause often and let them sink in. But let your imaginatianflow with the picture.

4. Then reflect Return to the present. Ask the Lord to showyou what the passage might be saying to you.

5. Then thank the Lord for the time he spent with you. Take.a resolution from ydur prayer time and try to put it intopractice.

Try this technique right now with the passage of the storm atsea (Mk 43544 Enter the scene as one of the apostles. Useall your senses. Then hear Jesus speaking to you.

• •

What are you afraid of right now? What is 'buffeting youabout? Have you asked the Lord to help? Have you heardhis reply "Becalm"?

4aidatiom •Begin each day of the coming week asking the Lord to takecontrol of any of the storms you might face during the day.When tough times come, return to the image of your friendand Stivibr, Jesus, calming the storm.

The Rosary:The origin of the Rosary

It is obvious, therefore, that the Rosary deservesour study and attention. But before we look at the Rosaryas a meaningful prayer for our day, we need quickly toreview its history.

Pinpointing the origin of the Rosary is not easy.The familiar legend that Sc. Dominic (1(70-1221)received the Rosary from our Lady is difficult tosubstantiate, and most historians believe the Rosary

developed slowly during a time-span stretching possiblyfrom the I lOO's to 1569. when Pope Pius V officially

approved the devotion. Reflected in the legend. nodoubt. is the historical truth of St. Dominic's greatdevotion to our Lady and the key role played by hisfollowers. the Dominican Order, in the promotion of theRosary over the centuries.

Apparently. the Rosary developed out of the laity'sdesire to have a form of prayer similar to that practicedby the monks. who prayed the psalter—the 150 psalmsof the Bible. The faithful—especially those unable toread—began the practice of saying 150 Our Fathers inplace of the psalms. Some used a string of 150 beads tokeep count. In a parallel development, people devotedto Mary said 150 Ave Marias (only the Angel Gabriersgreeting to Mary—not the entire Hail Mary as we knowit today), mixed with Verses from the psalms. a devotionsometimes known as Our Lady's Psalter. With time.mysteries from the life of Christ were added—to givethose praying material for contemplation and to keepChrist as the central focus of the devotion.

The Rosary took its present form between the 14thand 15th centuries. A Carthusian monk divided the 150Ave Marius into the 15 decades, with each decadepreceded by the Lord's Prayer.

In 1569, as indicated earlier. Pope Pius V officiallyrecommended this prayer of -150 angelic salurations—with

the Lord's Prayer at each decade...while meditating onthe mysteries which recall the entire life of our LordJesus Christ." This same Pope added the second part tothe Hail Mary. and this form of the prayer was eventu-ally adopted for the Rosary.

For the next 400 years. the Rosary has remainedunchanged. During the past century—from Pope LeoXIII (1878-1903) to John Paul II—this prayer has beenconsistently and highly recommended by the Popes.

Today people usually pray live decades—or one setof mysteries—at a time rather than all 15 decades (or150 Hail Marys) that make up the whole Rosary.Although. strictly speaking. the Rosary is all 15 decades(often called the Dominican Rosary). the form most ofus are familiar with is the so-called five-decade Rosary.

A tool for contemplationThe Rosary is meant to be a prayer that leads us to

Christ and into union with God. If it only locks. us intoa meaningless circle of mechanically recited prayers. theRosary is not achieving its purpose. And Mary wouldbe the first one to tell us to find a better way to God andlove of neighbor.

The words of the Rosary are meant to launch us intothe mysteries of Christ's life or. better, into the livingmystery of Christ himself, who says. -I am with youalways even until the end of time." Just as each HailMary builds up to the word. Jesus. so the whole Rosaryleads to union with him. And through Jesus we comeinto union with the Triune God. Each decade ends in a

whole Rosary is a movement toward praise and joyfulunion with God.

In praying the Rosary, it's important not to get tootied down or worried about the words, at least, not to getanxious about them. If you feel inspired to savor thewords and their meaning. fine. There is a scripturalrichness and a spiritual energy to be tapped from thewords themselves. But don't hesitate to soar beyond thewords to the mysteries of Christ or into the lovingpresence of God. If distracting thoughts come and yourmind drifts to last night's dinner, to a movie or topersonal problems. that's O.K. Be at peace. Gently moveback to the words or mysteries or talk to Jesus about• your distractions.

A Christ-centered prayerAt some point in history, the name of Jesus was

added to the first part of the Hail Mary. indicating thatall that precedes it can be fatty understood only in theperson of Christ. Jesus. the fruit of Mary's womb, istruly the center and summit of this prayer.

The mysteries of the Rosary are clearly centeredon events in Christ's life—the joyful mysteries on hisincarnadon. the sorrowful mysteries on his suffering anddeath, and the glorious mysteries on his resurrection. Inpraying the Rosary with devotion." says Mother Teresaof Calcutta. "we are reliving the life of Christ."

Laeldle•_ tzipaa

iuminowlkystgriefhe five new mysteries beginwith the Baptism of Jesus(spotlighting his identity asGod's beloved Son and his

mission as the Messiah). The Baptismis followed by the Wedding at Cana(illuminating the first sign Jesus gave ofhis yet-to-be-revealed glory) and theProclamation of the Kingdom (holdinga bright candle to Jesus' saving work ofhealing and forgiveness).

These three mysteries are followed bythe Transfiguration (the most luminous of

mysteries, in which Jesus' glory anddivine nature shine) and the First Eucharist(enlightening our understanding of Jesus'self-gift to us at the Last Supper, as wellas our identity as the one Body of Christ).

Although Mary remains in the back-gound of four of the mysteries of light,she stands forth as an intercessor in theWedding at Cana. Her words to the winesteward may be taken as her counsel to theChurch in every season: "Do whatever hetells you" (John 2:5). As the Holy Fatherpoints out 'This counsel is a fitting intro-duction to the words and signs of Christ'spublic ministry and it forms the Malianfoundation of all the 'mysteries of light"(RVIII, #21).

How can prayer express our faith? As we pray, we giveour attention to God. We offer him everything wehave. We place our trust in his goodness. At the sametime, we listen for his inspirations of grace to help usdo good. We receive God's strength to help us carryout his will.

There are different kinds of prayer. Praying by our-selves is called private prayer. We have many oppor-tunities to express our faith in private prayer. We dothis in our daily prayer conversations with God. Inprayer, we ask God to help us do what he wants us todo. We thank him for the blessings of each day. Wetell God we are sorry for failing to do his will, and weexpress our love for him and our gratitude for all hedoes for us.

Praying with others Is called communal prayer, be.cause we are praying as members of a group orcommunity. We pray communally when we expressour faith as members of God's family, the Church, inpublic worship, especially in our celebration of thesacraments.

When we celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation,we show that we believe God forgives our sins whenwe are sorry and gives us the grace to live better lives.We proclaim our faith publicly when we come to-gether to worship God at the Sunday celebration ofthe Eucharist and profess the Creed aloud. Each timewe receive Jesus at Communion, we express faith inhis presence by answering "Amen" to "The Body ofChrist" and " The Blood of Christ."

In celebrating the Sacrament of Confirmation, we askto be strengthened in our faith. Filled with the HolySpirit, we desire to live our faith with love and trust.

If we are sincere and honest as we pray, whether aloneor with others, our prayer will always be an expres-sion of our faith. The fact that we worship Godthrough prayer shows that we believe in him andhave faith in his goodness.
