Question 1: “What is The Most Important Word our ‘Jesus Receiver’ may receive?”
Answer: “Today’s Great Catholic Reading includes Luke 18:35-43 and the words of a ‘blind beggar’ who, alone in Jerusalem, saw that he should cry out: ‘Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!’”
~
Question 2: “Why is that so ‘Important’?”
Answer: “It sums up the thoughts of the only person in the huge crowds of Jerusalem who was blessed to meaningfully honor The Prophets who predicted that ‘The Son of David’ would take human form and come to earth. That ‘blind begger’ knew more than any of the pseudo-intellectual scholars, Scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, Herodians, Romans, and the hundreds of thousands of people who came to Jerusalem every year!”

Question 3: “Why didn’t I ever realize that a common ordinary person, even one who is literally ‘blind’, could ‘see’ and understand Jesus better than all the supposedly ‘superior’ people?”
Answer: “Self-righteous people rule every age by claiming to be smarter and better than all others. None of them could admit that Jesus is ‘so much better’ than any of them that He has God’s Power to let a ‘blind beggar see’!”
~
Question 4: “What let one ‘blind beggar’ see The Power of Jesus better than anyone else in Jerusalem?”
Answer: “God! It was God Who let him ‘see The Power of Jesus’ by sending an angel to put that understanding directly into his mind when he cried out from his heart, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!’”
~
Question 4: “Can Jesus do that for us, right now so we may ‘Have sight; your faith has saved you.’?”
Answer: “May every person’s ‘Jesus Receiver’ be blessed to see that He just did and be encouraged with better obedience to The Church-Creating Word of ‘The Son of David’ to His First Catholic Pope: ‘And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’”

“Jesus let the blind man see. / May He do the same for me.”
