In the First Reading this week, we hear from the prophet Isaiah, “Then will the eyes of the blind be opened, the ears of the deaf be cleared.” (Isaiah 35:5) This prophecy, written up to 740 years before Christ, is fulfilled in this week’s Gospel passage that mentions the healing of a deaf man.
El evangelio de San Marcos narra un milagro realizado por Jesús más allá de los confines de Galilea. Jesús se da cuenta del problema de un hombre que no escucha atentamente su palabra y de inmediato: “Él lo apartó a un lado de la gente, le metió los dedos en los oídos y le tocó la lengua con saliva.

Vote NO on 4
Amendment 4 is a proposed amendment to the Florida Constitution that would essentially establish an unlimited right to abortion throughout pregnancy even when the heartbeat of the preborn child is detected, when the preborn child can experience pain, and when the child is capable of living outside the womb.
We urge all parishes, schools, families, ministries, and individual Catholics to encourage voters to join in our opposition and reject this extreme and ill-conceived proposition.

children. May they help us build a
civilization of love by upholding the

We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
Our Lady, Mother of the Family,
