Gospel – Mark 7:31-37
“He took him aside in private, away from the crowd, put his fingers into the man’s ears and touched his tongue with spittle”. This narration is another sign of which speaks a very particular character of His mission. His healings are not just miracles. They are signs by which we can understand that Jesus does not want just to do miracles. He wanted to enter into a personal relationship with the person in need. So, he took him aside in private, away from the crowd. Jesus wanted to be alone with this man. He creates this personal relationship with this man. He could have done the miracle just with His word. But Jesus does that to have this unique personal relationship with this person. Let’s reflect: Jesus wants to take me away from the crowd so that He can create a personal relationship with me.

Gospel Mark 7:24-30
“but the house-dogs under the table can eat the children’s scraps.” This is the statement of faith. A faith that can overcome any difficulties in life. A faith that can overcome any prejudice of others in our life. A faith that can overcome any fears in our life. A faith that sees only the grace that works miracles in our life. A faith that has resilience against any disappointments and frustrations in life. A faith that is enriched with hope in the love of God. A faith that never gives up in asking. Let’s reflect. Let’s make our faith in God stronger than any other feelings in our life.

Gospel – Mark 7:14-23
“It is what comes out of a man that makes him unclean”. This is so true, and Jesus explains it so well. “For it is from within, from men’s hearts, that evil intentions emerge – fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within and make a man unclean”. This must very clear in our mind to have the clear understanding of what destroys us. It’s not something from outside that destroys us. But it what we keep in our heart. Our heart is the place for God. Our heart is the seat of Holy Spirit. But we can also make our heart the seat of all negativities. Whenever we think negative or bad, we are creating in our heart that which will come out of us and make us unclean. So, it’s imperative to keep our hearts clean and in case we make it dirty, we must make it clean again by the sacrament of confession. It’s not others who destroy us. It is we who destroy ourselves. Let’s reflect: Let’s makes our hearts clean by making it an abode of Holy Spirit.
