Saint Martin of Tours is known as the first Chaplain in the history of the Christian Church. However, Jesus is the first Chaplain and the perfect Chaplain. Jesus is on His way to Jerusalem. By the side of the road, a blind beggar, Bartimaeus, calls out for help. The crowd tells him to be quiet. But, Jesus, even though He is going to be killed in just a few days, puts His life on hold, calls Bartimaeus over, and listens carefully to his call for help. Jesus heals Bartimaeus by restoring his sight. We will follow Jesus when we also put our lives on hold, listen, and be God’s agents of healing when we use our gifts in service to Christ’s Church.
