Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel….Friday 9 February 2018

"They brought to him a deaf man who had an impediment in his speech; and they begged him to lay his hand on him". Mark 7, 31

Jesus does what they ask of Him ! As God , quiet certainly He was aware of the problems of this man , but does not go of His own accord to help ! The deaf-mute’s relations , friends take the man in trouble to Jesus asking for His help! Do I take the people in my family or in my surrounding who are in trouble-since I cannot help them-with prayerful love into the presence of Jesus ? Am I able to intercede for them in a prayerful way, gathering all my strength into the presence of Jesus ?!

The man on his knees has a great power , the humble prayer penetrates through heaven , let us pray for our brethren in trouble , because God is kind-hearted , loves us , and even today would like to shower with His gifts, miracles our world ! 

With love,

Then Jesus returned from the region of Tyre, and went by way of Sidon towards the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis. They brought to him a deaf man who had an impediment in his speech; and they begged him to lay his hand on him. He took him aside in private, away from the crowd, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue. Then looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened." And immediately his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. Then Jesus ordered them to tell no one; but the more he ordered them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. They were astounded beyond measure, saying, "He has done everything well; he even makes the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."

Mark 7:31-37
