PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “OPEN OUR LIVES TO JESUS”

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2025 Friday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time Memorial of Saint Cyril, Monk, and Methodius, Bishop PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “OPEN OUR LIVES TO JESUS” [GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: MARK 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.” Video by Raoul Roncal : Licensed Engineer (ECE). Lay missionary-Servants of the Word Brotherhood.
