The Holy Father reflected on the Gospel account of the healing of a blind man, Bartimaeus, who cried out to Jesus as He passed through the city of Jericho on the way to Jerusalem.
Pope Leo emphasized that Bartimaeus knows how to cry out for help, even when reproached by the crowd; and, although he is blind, “he sees better than others because he recognizes who Jesus is.”
Jesus responds to his cry because, as the Pope reminded us, “There is no cry that God fails to hear, even when we are not aware we are addressing Him.”
