Gospel text (Mk 7:31-37): Jesus left the district of Tyre and went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, into the district of the Decapolis. And people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment and begged him to lay his hand on him. He took him off by himself away from the crowd. He put his finger into the man’s ears and, spitting, touched his tongue; then he looked up to heaven and groaned, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (that is, “Be opened!”)
And immediately the man’s ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly. He ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more he ordered them not to, the more they proclaimed it. They were exceedingly astonished and they said, “He has done all things well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
Reflection:
This Gospel talks again the miracle of Jesus. Another man who has healed from being deafmute through the miracle of Jesus. Jesus really showed here his being God. And that, the deaf and mute was able to speak. The Gospel also showed to us that Jesus can heal any sickness and disorder. It is showed here He healed a person who has speech disorder. But the greatest effect of the miracle of Jesus is that our faith in God is always our tool to make our sickness healed and problems solved. Always have faith in God to make our life more meaningful and at peace.
