Ephphatha!
The Gospel passage begins with a list of places, all in the area of non-Jewish people, also known as the gentiles. Jesus went to the people who had not known God to bring them the good news of God’s salvation.
Today, Jesus continues to do the same for us.
He invites us to “Be opened” to his presence and his Gospel.
Moreover, he invites us to open our eyes, our ears, and our hearts to his presence in the people around us, particularly those who are poor (2nd reading), and those who are outsiders, just as Jesus was to them.
Jesus also gives us the examples and the power to open our mouths to proclaim his Gospel to others.
Ephphatha!
