Wow! What a glorious start to our year together by joining our praises and prayers together at Mass. I hope to see you again at Masses throughout the school year.

Mark 7:31-37

This Sunday we hear of Jesus healing a deaf man with a speech impediment. When Jesus heals the deaf man, he not only heals him physically but also opens the door for greater participation in the community. Jesus' healing of this man was a gift for that man personally, but also the whole community. As we grow as individuals we are strengthening the WHOLE Body of Christ, likewise when we refuse to acknowledge sin, hurts caused by us, or hold onto grudges we are hurting the entire Body of Christ. We are one Body, how will you contribute to the Body of Christ this week?


On the way to Mass:  Where do you feel like you belong?


On the way home from Mass: Where do you feel that you need healing?



Challenge of the Week: What is one practice you can undertake as a family this week to strengthen the whole body? Perhaps going to Confession, focusing on sincere apologies, or pointing out good things you notice someone doing.
