Sts Cyril and Methodius (M)

1 Kings 11:29-32, 12:19; Psalm 81:10-15; Mark 7:31-37

Opening up!

“Ephphata! Be opened!” Jesus gives hearing and clear speech to a man brought to him by others. Today the Church honours two brothers, Cyril and Methodius, who brought the Gospel to people in Eastern Europe in the 9th century. They opened ears and tongues to hear and proclaim the marvellous works of God.

What needs to be opened in my life to enable me to tell others of God’s love? What are the blockages that prevent others from hearing and speaking this love?
