YEAR A: HOMILY FOR FRIDAY OF THE 5TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME

HOMILY THEME: HEALING OF A DEAF MAN….”He has done all things well”

BY: Fr. Joan MARQUÉS i Suriñach

HOMILY: Today, the Gospel presents us with a miracle of Jesus: he makes the deaf hear and the mute speak. The people was astonished and said: «He has done all things well» (Mk 7:37). This is Jesus&apo biography as narrated by his contemporaries. A short but complete biography. Who is this Jesus? He is who has done all things well. In the double sense of the word: in the what and the how, in the substance and the manner. He is who has only done good deeds, and who has done them well, perfectly and properly finished. Jesus is a person that does everything well, because He does only good works, and those He does, He delivers well finished. He does not leave anything unfinished; nor does He leave it to be finished later on.
