Sunday 6 September

23rd Week in Ordinary Time

Isaiah 35:4-7; Ps.146; James 2:1-5; Mark 7:31-37

These are the poor

These readings carry beautiful images of land and a deaf person being transformed and thriving. Jesus wants to transform us and expand our hearts for solidarity. How do you share from your abundance?

Listen to St. Teresa of Avila: “Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks with compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.”
