6 de Septiembre de 2015 / 23 º Domingo Ordinario
The blind can see, the deaf can hear
and the mute can speak
Every liturgical assembly is a space for the
presence of God. Gathered for the Blessed
Eucharist, disciples of the Lord proclaim that
he is risen, that he is alive and is the Giver of
life; and let us witness that his presence is
grace, it is fulfilment, it is joy. Let us open our
hearts to his word and welcome the gift of his
presence! In this Sunday's First Reading, the
Prophet Isaiah encourages those "who are of
a fearful heart" and proclaims this marvellous
newness which experience has confirmed:
when the Lord is present the eyes of the
blind are reopened, the ears of the deaf
unstopped and the lame man leaps like a
hart. All things are reborn and all things are
revived, for beneficial waters irrigate the
desert. The "desert", in Isaiah's symbolic
language, can call to mind the tragic events,
difficult situations and loneliness that often
mark life; the deepest desert is the human
heart when it loses the capacity for listening,
speaking and communicating with God and
with others. Eyes then become blind because
they are incapable of seeing reality; ears are
closed so as not to hear the cry of those who
implore help; hearts are hardened in
indifference and selfishness. But now, the
Prophet proclaims, all is destined to change;
the "dry land" of a closed heart will be
watered by a new, divine sap. And when the
Lord comes, to those who are fearful of heart
in every epoch he says authoritatively: "Be
strong, fear not!".
Los ciegos verán, los sordos oirán
y el mudo hablará
Cada asamblea litúrgica es espacio de la
presencia de Dios. Los discípulos del Señor,
reunidos para la santa Eucaristía, proclaman
que él ha resucitado, está vivo y es dador de
vida, y testimonian que su presencia es gracia,
es tarea, es alegría. Abramos el corazón a su
palabra y acojamos el don de su presencia. En
la primera lectura de este domingo, el profeta
Isaías anima a los "cobardes de corazón" y
anuncia esta estupenda novedad, que la
experiencia confirma: cuando el Señor está
presente se despegan los ojos del ciego, se
abren los oídos del sordo, el cojo "salta" como
un ciervo. Todo renace y todo revive porque
aguas benéficas riegan el desierto. El "desierto",
en su lenguaje simbólico, puede evocar los
acontecimientos dramáticos, las situaciones
difíciles y la soledad que no raramente marca la
vida; el desierto más profundo es el corazón
humano cuando pierde la capacidad de oír, de
hablar, de comunicarse con Dios y con los
demás. Se vuelve entonces ciego porque es
incapaz de ver la realidad; se cierran los oídos
para no escuchar el grito de quien implora
ayuda; se endurece el corazón en la indiferencia
y en el egoísmo. Pero ahora —anuncia el
profeta— todo está destinado a cambiar; esta
"tierra árida" de un corazón cerrado será regada
por una nueva linfa divina. Y cuando el Señor
viene, dice con autoridad a los cobardes de
corazón de toda época: "¡Ánimo, no temáis!".
Aquí se enlaza perfectamente el episodio
evangélico, narrado por san Marcos: Jesús cura
en tierra pagana a un sordomudo. Primero lo
acoge y se ocupa de él con el lenguaje de los
Here the Gospel episode recounted by St Mark
fits in perfectly. Jesus heals a deaf-mute in the
pagan land. First he welcomes him and takes
care of him with the language of gestures which
is more direct than words; and then, using an
Aramaic term, he says "Eph'phatha", that is, "be
opened", restoring the man's hearing and
speech. Full of wonder, the crowd exclaims: "he
has done all things well". We can see in this
"sign" Jesus' ardent desire to overcome man's
loneliness and incommunicability created by
selfishness, in order to bring about a "new
humanity", the humanity of listening and
speech, of dialogue, of communication, of
communion with God. A "good" humanity, just
as all of God's Creation is good; a humanity
without discrimination, without exclusion as the
Apostle James recommends in his Letter so that
the world is truly and for all a "scene of true
brotherhood", in an opening to love of our
common Father, who created us and made us
his sons and daughters.
May Christ, whom we see in the Gospel
opening ears and releasing the tongue of the
deaf-mute, open your hearts and always give
you the joy of listening to his word, the courage
to proclaim his Gospel, the ability to speak of
God and to speak in this way with your brothers
and sisters and, finally, the courage to discover
God's Face and his Beauty! However, for this to
happen, as St Bonaventure of Bagnoregio
where I shall go this afternoon recalls, the mind
must, "in beholding these things, transcend and
pass over, not only this visible world, but even
itself". This is the itinerary of salvation, illumined
by the light of God's word and nourished by the
sacraments that bring together all Christians.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
gestos, más inmediatos que las palabras; y
después, con una expresión en lengua
aramea, le dice: "Effatà", o sea, "ábrete",
devolviendo a aquel hombre oído y lengua.
Llena de estupor, la multitud exclama: "Todo lo
ha hecho bien". En este "signo" podemos ver
el ardiente deseo de Jesús de vencer en el
hombre la soledad y la incomunicabilidad
creadas por el egoísmo, a fin de dar rostro a
una "nueva humanidad", la humanidad de la
escucha y de la palabra, del diálogo, de la
comunicación, de la comunión con Dios. Una
humanidad "buena", como es buena toda la
creación de Dios; una humanidad sin
discriminaciones, sin exclusiones —como
advierte el apóstol Santiago en su carta — de
forma que el mundo sea realmente y para
todos "espacio de verdadera fraternidad", en la
apertura al amor al Padre común, que nos ha
creado y nos ha hecho sus hijos y sus hijas.
Que Cristo, a quien vemos en el Evangelio
abrir los oídos y desatar el nudo de la lengua
al sordomudo, abra tu corazón y te dé siempre
la alegría de la escucha de su Palabra, la
valentía del anuncio de su Evangelio, la
capacidad de hablar de Dios y de hablar así
con los hermanos y, por último, el valor del
descubrimiento del rostro de Dios y de su
belleza. Pero para que esto pueda suceder —
recuerda san Buenaventura de Bagnoregio,
adonde iré esta tarde—, la mente debe "ir más
allá de todo con la contemplación e ir más allá
no sólo del mundo sensible, sino también más
allá de sí misma". Este es el itinerario de
salvación, iluminado por la luz de la Palabra
de Dios y alimentado por los sacramentos,
para todos los cristianos.

Grandparents Matter…Fostering Faith: Grandparents play a very special role in the life of their
grandchildren. They offer unconditional love, but they are also memory keepers & memory
makers, spiritual guides & mentors and role models & nurturers. When grandparents understand

productive and fun. Come and share an enlightening and thought provoking time on the
importance of grandparents! The event will take place at St. Thomas the Apostle Parish (715
