Today we are presented by the Gospel in mass a scene of Jesus on his way to the Decapolis. He is presented a deaf mute. They ask him to cure him. He draws him aside and puts his finger into his ears and touches his tongue with spittle. This is amazing! Then He uttered, “Be opened”. He was cured. He began to speak and hear. We also need this miracle so that we can speak when we are supposed to in order to correct somebody, encourage someone or enthuse somebody. We need to learn to do this instead of saying bad words, curse, or utter words that puts down our neighbor. We need the miracle to get us to hear what we are supposed to hear, i.e., God’s Will, instead of listening to so many useless words, gossips, hatreds, envies, etc. But this can only happen if we have contact with Jesus. This is possible only when we spend time in prayer.
