Sunday 9 September

Twenty third Week Ordinary Time

Isaiah 35:4-7, Ps 146, James 2:1-5, Mark 7:31-37

Openness

It is Jesus who says to the deaf man, “Be opened”. That invitation is spoken to us today - be opened. Notice how a rose bud opens one petal at a time. It cannot force itself to open, but the sun warms it. The bud unfolds. It opens wide because it is ready. What aspect of your life is Jesus inviting you to open up? Let the warmth of Jesus’ love fill you as open you up to his presence.
