Choose one of the following activities as a way to further reflect on the Sunday readings:

• In today’s Gospel, blind Bartimaeus is healed. Take a walk outside with your family. What do you see? For what do you want to thank God?
• Think about your family. Decide how the Lord has brought strength out of a weakness in your family. Does someone in your family need special help? How has this helped to bring out the best in your family?
• Review with your family the Corporal Works of Mercy. Have them select one or two of these to carry out this week: Feed the hungry - Give drink to the thirsty - Clothe the naked - Visit the imprisoned - Shelter the homeless - Visit the sick - Bury the dead.
• What would you say if Jesus asked you, “What do you want me to do for you?”
