Again Jesus left the district of Tyre and went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, into the district of the De- capolis.

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…

Mark 7:31-37

OUR MISSION STATEMENT We are a Catholic Community that is called by God to follow Jesus Christ. We believe that we are called to worship God together, to lead God's people along the path of hope laid down by Jesus, to share his message through preaching, through the education and formation of our people, young and old, and through caring service and sensitive outreach to those in need. Rev D Liliedahl Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time Reading the newspaper or watching the news can be an emotionally and spiritually draining experience. It certainly does not lift the spirits to read about the fires near Tahoe and people having to flee their homes. Nor is it uplifting to read about the damage and destruction in Louisiana in the wake of Hurricane Ida. And lest we for- get, the images and stories continuing to come out of Afghanistan are simply heart- breaking. This doesn’t even include any other stories we so often read about people suffering from situations they find themselves in due to natural disasters or human events. It just seems that suffering is all around us. A natural question that many people begin to ask as they read about these events or see them or even begin to experience them in their own lives is the question - where is God in all this? It can be difficult to see where God might be present in everything we read about. When I begin to think about this question a scene from a movie always comes immediately to mind. The movie is called Hacksaw Ridge and it is certainly not a movie for children because of the images of war present in the movie. But the movie follows the life of a man named Desmond Doss, who because of his deeply held religious beliefs, refused to serve as a soldier in World War Two and instead battled through the courts to serve rather as a medic on the battlefield. He was not trying to avoid serving his country, he just wanted to help save lives rather than take them. Assigned to the Pacific front during the war he was present for a battle that became known as Hacksaw Ridge, in which the American troops scaled a cliff wall to engage the Japanese army in a battle that raged through the night. Desmond spent his entire night finding soldiers who were wounded and dragging them back to the cliff face to be lowered down to waiting medics and doctors. As the sun rose after the long night, Desmond was exhausted and drained. He took a moment to say a prayer. He whispered “God, what do you want me to do? What should I do?” I think this is a prayer we often say when we read the headlines of today. Just then, Desmond heard an anguished cry from a soldier in pain. You can almost see in his eyes that he has just heard the answer to his prayer as he goes off to help the soldier who cried out. After the events on Hacksaw Ridge, Desmond Doss was awarded the Medal of Honor. But perhaps how God answered his prayer is how he often answers our prayers today. When Desmond asked God what he was supposed to do, he heard the cry of a person in need of help. Perhaps when we ask God where he is during these events we read about, the answer is- “I’m giving you the strength and means to do something about this event.” Perhaps we are God’s answer. Do we hear in the stories of people being evacuated from fires, being airlifted away from violence, or just trying to survive the elements the cry of God to us? We should.

The sophistication of Mark’s narrative is further revealed when we realize that there are multiple levels within a single reference. Mark not only draws our attention back to Israel’s prophetic past, he also points to the initiatory practice of his contemporaries by his men- tion of such things as spittle, touching of ears, and the use of the word ephphatha, all of which were practices incorporated into the early Church’s baptismal ritual. © J.
