2 Mass Intentions Please Pray for Calendar Club Winners To have a name listed in the bullen: From your Pastor s Desk Fr. Joe Wray Scripture reflecon by Rodney Bluml: You can hear the people of the Ten Cies proclaiming his praises. The Genle (non expanding the tradional noon that the Jews were God s only chosen ones and that the Messiah would come solely for their sakes. Jesus went to these Genle cies to heal people of infirmies and free them from evil spirits. What does this Mark wanted his Genle hearers to find a comfort in this Messiah, as well. In this parcular story, Mark masterfully weaves the events so we understand very rare in scripture and strongly indicates that Mark intenonally chose it to make this connecon. Jesus acted like the other healers of his day by employing three natural techniques of healing: touch, sping, and words. First, Jesus touched the affects one s speech. Jesus was aempng to remove the demon that blocked the clear connecon of these two senses. Jesus spit in the evil eye of the demon, bring about change in an ill person s condion, the cure under Jesus care was In the people s minds, this equated with an elevaon up the ladder of spiritual in Jesus a clear manifestaon of God s Kingdom as promised by Isaiah. Jesus exhortaon to the deaf man in this gospel, and faith in the power of God. It is the same exhortaon we use when we bapze, conceived noons do you have about the poor? What have you been told by parents, media, policians, teachers, friends? Is it the same as the Chrisan message found in the leer of James? Is there a way you can express more respect tale you used to li someone s spirits, especially at bedme.
