READINGS: THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME The gospel of this 30th Sunday in Ordinary times, Year B (Mark 10:46-52) tells of the story of a blind man, named Bartimaeus, who, although was physically blind, could see what the crowd, who had eyes, could not see; that Jesus of Nazareth was truly the Messiah.
