BE OPEN

Friday of Fifth Week in Ordinary Time Year C Mark 7:31-37 The healing of a deaf man with a speech impediment is telling us that we have a who God cares about us and what we are going through! He has mercy on our misery. BE OPEN- (Ephphatha) it means God is telling us to prepare ourselves to received blessings from him. Open your life to God’s infinite blessings. He will turn your sorrow to joy. He will lead you from darkness to light- EPHPHATHA! Nowadays there are so many Christians had speech and hearing impediments figuratively speaking. We close our ears to the truth. We cover our eyes to the needy. Like Jesus we are invited to take care for the misery of others because kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. When we care we can cure. Addictions, loneliness, depression will disappear if we care. Today is a day for us to be aware of our own muteness and our own deafness. Don’t be deaf and mute to the things of God. Jesus has blessings, favors, gifts, surprises for you today. Be open! Finally, Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone of the miracles he had done because He would like to teach us one great lesson in life. When we done something, let us avoid announcing it. Let us not be tempted to broadcast and advertise our deeda of kindness. WORK HARD IN SILENCE, LET SUCCESS MAKE THE NOISE. Work for a cause not for an applause. Live life to express not to impress. Dont strive to make your presence noticed, just make your absence felt. Blessings Fr. Jhack
