What do you want me to do for you? 

“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 and followed him on the way.” (MK 10: 51-52)

It was such a simple question for Bartimaeus: “What do you want me to do for you?”—“Master, I want to see.” There was no doubt and no need for time to think; there was no request concerning others: make them better for me or give me food and shelter. He said—“I want to see” and followed Him on the way. He received much more than he asked for: Our Lord is “the light of the world, whoever follows Him will have the light of life.”

“I am the light of the world, says the Lord; whoever follows me will have the light of life.” (Gospel Acclamation)
