Daily Reflection: Friday, February 9

Friday of the Fifth Week of Ordinary Time

“Ephphatha!”  (That is, be opened!)  

And immediately the man’s ears were opened,

his  speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly.

He ordered them not to tell anyone.

But the more he ordered them not to, the more they proclaimed it. (Mk 7:334-37)
