Family Connection Mark 7:31-37 Jesus restores a man s hearing and speech. Today s Gospel invites us to consider how we witness the healing presence of Christ in our care for and ministry to those who are sick. We notice that the deaf man is brought to Jesus for healing by his friends. These people beg Jesus to lay his hands on this deaf man so that he might be healed. Jesus healing power is shown in his opening of the man s ears and the restoring of his speech. When family members care for one another when they are sick, they bring Christ s healing presence. When we pray for those who are ill, we ask God to show his healing power. When health is restored, we share that good news with others. As you gather as a family, recall a time when a family member was ill. What steps were taken to help restore this family member to health? Talk about what it feels like to care for a person who is ill, and about how it feels to be the sick person being cared for. In today s Gospel, we hear about a time when Jesus healed a man who was deaf. Read today s Gospel, Mark 7:31-37. Notice how the man who was cured and his friends could not honor Jesus request to keep quiet about Jesus power to heal. We continue to celebrate Jesus healing presence in our lives by giving thanks to God for the gift of healing and health. Conclude in prayer, thanking Jesus for the gifts of health and healing. Pray together for those who are sick. After each person is named, pray, Jesus, heal us. MEN S GROUP--Calling all men...starting September 14th, we will be resuming our Friday morning time together, and this year we will be starting with a new series, "Kapaun's Men, Discipleship" We meet every Friday in the St. Anthony Parish Center. At 6am coffee is on, 6:10 free breakfast is ready, and at 6:20 we start with prayer and the DVD series with the last 20 minutes left for discussion on the days topic. We are finished by 7:30. If you are unfamiliar with Fr. Kapaun, look him up on the web and I'm sure you'll be amazed by this man's life as I was. Hope to see you there, and bring a friend!
