Let’s explore some of the themes that we find in the Mass readings for the 23rd Sunday of the Year.

Say to those whose hearts are frightened: be strong, fear not!
God comes to the people bringing healing and life to the world.

Psalm – 146:7-10

“Praise the Lord, my soul!”
We glorify God who brings hope and healing to those in need, and thwarts the way of the wicked.

2nd Reading – James 2:1-5

We are charged to show no partiality to others based on wealth or appearance.
God chooses the poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom.

Gospel – Mark 7:31-37

A deaf man with a speech impediment is brought before Jesus.
After the Lord heals the man, the crowds give praise to God.
