LIVE THE LITURGY INSPIRATION FOR THE
WEEK We often associate the word "healing" with something that produces dramatic, physical results: the blind see, the crippled walk, and the deaf hear. Witnessing such miraculous events is few and far between for most. Healing happens more frequently in very ordinary ways using very ordinary means. And we can all be God's instruments for bringing it about. Kindness, love, mer- cy, and compassion can go a very long way. Treating people with kindness ? being inclusive and welcoming of the poor, the weak, and the powerless ? listening to another's story and pain ? offering compassion and love to those who have wronged us ? avoiding hurtful criti- cisms and watching our tongues. All can go a long way to changing and healing human hearts. There is power in love and kindness. Does this power not speak of someone greater than ourselves working in and through us?

"Jesus ? went by way of Sidon ? into the district of the
Decapolis." For most of Jesus' ministry, he remains in
Galilee and areas with a predominantly Jewish popula-
tion. Today, however, we see Jesus traveling through a
heavily pagan area. This makes the utterance of faith in
today's Gospel all the more astounding. "He has done all
things well."
In this story, a deaf man is brought to Jesus. This man is
not without community! Despite communication difficul-
ties due to a speech impediment, his people bring him
before Jesus. Jesus lays hands upon the man and com-
mands his broken body to change. "'Be opened!' Immedi-
ately the man's ears were opened, his speech impediment
was removed, and he spoke plainly." The community is
stunned. They can't stop telling the story. The more Jesus
asks them to settle down, the more they proclaim! The
Jewish people expected a Messiah but a Messiah with
very particular qualifications. The Greeks and pagans
anticipated no such savior. There were no expectations to
meet. They had a special capacity to be completely, utter-
ly surprised.
As Catholics, it can be easy to become accustomed to the
songs and the prayers, to the routine of religious educa-
tion dropoffs and Sunday Mass attendance. By now, we
may have very particular expectations. When was the last
time you allowed yourself to be surprised by God?
Sometimes we are all like the deaf man in today's Gos-
pel. God wants to speak to us, but we can't hear clearly.
In your prayer this week, go before God honestly. Give
yourself permission to drop your expectations and as-
sumptions. Ask Him to renew your faith to show you
how, in your life, "He has done all things well."
