Today’s Gospel from Mark includes an extraordinary occasion when Jesus cured and healed a man who had been unable to hear or speak. In the process of healing him the Lord said one word — Ephphatha, a word that means “Be opened.” In a homily given in the fall of 2012, Pope Benedict XVI stated: “At the heart of today’s Gospel there is a small but very important word, a word that in its deepest meaning sums up the whole message and the whole work of Christ. It is the Aramaic Ephphatha.” The Holy Father went on to point out that many are inwardly deaf to the world around them and remain mute at a time when the world is in need of spiritual guidance. The Pope’s meditation on that Gospel and that one important word also included a reminder that the Lord speaks to each of us in a language of love, and calls us to be bap‐
tized disciples. The man in the Gospel had been isolated and insulated from the world around him. We may tend to be that way at times also. Jesus calls us to see our vocation in human society, and to strive to be good stewards of that vocation. In closing his homily that day, Pope Benedict prompted us what our response should be: “Speak Lord, for your servant is listening.” (1 Samuel 3: 10) Is 35: 4‐7A; Ps 14: 6‐10: Jas 2: 1‐5; Mk 7: 31‐37 San Jaime / San León

El evangelio de hoy de Mark incluye una ocasión ex‐
traordinaria cuando Jesús curó y sanó a un hombre que había sido incapaz de oír o hablar. En el proceso de su curación el Señor le dijo una palabra ‐ Ephphatha, una palabra que significa "ser abierto." En una homilía pronunciada en el otoño de 2012, el Papa Benedicto XVI afirmó: "En el corazón del Evangelio de hoy hay un pequeño pero palabra muy importante, una palabra que, en sus más profundos sumas signifi‐
cado hasta el mensaje y toda la obra de Cristo. Es el arameo Ephphatha. " El Santo Padre llegó a señalar que muchos son interior‐
mente sordo al mundo que les rodea y permanecen mudos en un momento en que el mundo está en la Adoración Eucarística necesidad de orientación espiritual.

Your Knights of Columbus will be serving the first of the fall series of the Community Breakfasts next Sunday, September 13, in the parish hall. Doors open from 8:00 am through 11:00 am. $7.00 per adult, $4.00 for children 12 years and older. The beneficiary from this Breakfast is the Eudist Seminarian Fund. The Eudists provide pastoral care for Saint James‐St. Leo Catholic Community, Saint Patrick in Carlsbad and St John Eudes in Chatsworth without any financial support from a Southern California diocese. Since priestly vocations have not been recruiting at a pace sufficient to supply priests for all of the parishes in our Diocese, supporting our Eudist seminarians is a critical need. Our own parish has experienced the benefits of supporting Eudist seminarians in the past, as anyone who has participated in celebrating sacraments with Fr. Ernesto, Fr. Juan, Fr. Lawrence and Fr. Ricky will recall. This upcoming Breakfast allows our parishioners to share a meal with one another as we lend our assistance to this very worthy cause. PASTORAL STAFF
