Daily IVE Homilies, September 8, 2024 - Spiritual Deafness

00:00 Intro 00:18 Gospel 01:16 Homily Again 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.” Mk 7 31-37 https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/090824.cfm The Daily IVE Homilies are homilies by our Priests at the Institute of The Incarnate Word (Instituto del Verbo Encarnado) based on the daily Gospel readings of the Catholic Church.
