Theme: THE TOUCH OF JESUS ON MY MOUTH AND IN THE EAR OF MY HEART

Reflection for Friday February 11 2022

 

Mk 7: 31-37.

Even though I often listen to homilies and inspirational talks, I could be regarded as deaf because I don’t always practice what I hear. I am also dumb when I fail to participate actively in Church activities, and when I do not testify to God’s healing grace in my life. “Ephphatha” all that is blocked in my life. Open my heart to hear the cry of the needy around me. Let me no longer be mute and unresponsive to community praise and worship. Is it deafness that causes me to disobey God’s commands? Do I utter speeches of angry curses or blessing to people? Have I been receiving so much favouritism from leaders as to become dumb and fearful to speak to them to stop their wrong actions? Do I glorify God by doing things in a well ordered and systematic manner?

LET US PRAY
Dear Jesus, I thank you for the gift of sound and speech. With my mouth and lifestyle I will proclaim your goodness, love and mercy to me wherever I go. Loosen my success and whatever is tied down in my life. Open the ear of my heart so that I can hear the still small voice that guides me to right actions. Help me to speak words of wisdom and encouragement to those I meet. Free me from prejudice that has blocked the ears of my heart. Give me an attentive heart and a listening ear. Amen.
