Reading 1 (Is 35:4-7a)
Reading 2 (Jas 2:1-5)
Thus says the LORD: Say to those whose hearts are
frightened: Be strong, fear not! Here is your God, he comes
with vindication; with divine recompense he comes to save
you. Then will the eyes of the blind be opened, the ears of the
deaf be cleared; then will the lame leap like a stag, then the
tongue of the mute will sing. Streams will burst forth in the
desert, and rivers in the steppe. The burning sands will
become pools, and the thirsty ground, springs of water.
My brothers and sisters, show no partiality as you
adhere to the faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ.
For if a man with gold rings and fine clothes comes
into your assembly, and a poor person in shabby
clothes also comes in, and you pay attention to the
one wearing the fine clothes and say, "Sit here,
please, " while you say to the poor one, "Stand
there, " or "Sit at my feet, " have you not made
distinctions among yourselves and become judges
with evil designs? Listen, my beloved brothers and
sisters. Did not God choose those who are poor in
the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the
kingdom that he promised to those who love him?
Gospel (Mk 7:31-37)
Again Jesus left the district of Tyre and went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, into the district of the Decapolis.
And people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment and begged him to lay his hand on him.
He took him off by himself away from the crowd. He put his finger into the man's ears and, spitting, touched his
tongue; then he looked up to heaven and groaned, and said to him, "Ephphatha!"-- that is, "Be opened!" -And immediately the man's ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly. He
ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more he ordered them not to, the more they proclaimed it. They were
exceedingly astonished and they said, "He has done all things well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."
