Like Bartimaeus, each of us has a prayer. His prayer was, “Lord, I want to see.” What is your prayer this winter’s night?

We stand on the threshold of light. Though we struggle and stagger in the dark, seeking the light, our eyes adjust, and in the shadows, images are revealed. With so many in our world stumbling in the dark, feeling invisible, being seen and known by God means we are visible. Each person counts. Each one matters.
We gather to wait in the darkness to see what might come to light. What hope might emerge?
Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
Even the night shall be light about me;
Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike for you.
–Psalm 139
Our gathering this evening will include a meditative walk to the Reconciliation Labyrinth with luminaries to light the way.
An Assembling God’s Puzzle video
By Fr. Garry Richmeier
It seems to be part of our DNA to sort everything in life into two categories — right or wrong, good or bad. Of course, we are always on the “right” side and to demonstrate our “rightness” we demonize the other side and problems ensue. How can we break the cycle?

I hope that my reflections make you more attentive to the Eucharistic Prayer at the next Mass you attend. When you really listen to the readings and the prayers, the pieces of the puzzle of the Mass come together and you see the incredible vision God has for us.
