Lectio - Mk 7.31-37

Meditatio: "They were exceedingly astonished and they said, ‘He has done all things well. He makes the deaf hear and [the] mute speak’.” Mk 7.37

Oratio: "O God, all things and creatures obey you.

I remember at your Son’s touch and his command, ‘Ephphatha’ the deaf mute in Decapolis was cured.

Grant that I may be open to your Spirit so that I may give you filial obedience out of love.

I ask this of you, who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.”

Contemplatio – Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes.
