Holy Catholic Masses

"Traditional Catholic Church"

"Ephpheta," meaning, "Be thou Opened."

Saint Paul in the beginning persecuted the Church of Christ. But he was later converted and then "He spoke correctly." Like Saint Paul we should draw our inspiration from Christ and rely constantly on His graces which will enable us to be truly fruitful. 🤗️

Today the Traditional Catholic Church celebrates the Holy Mass of, Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost. Today's Mass lesson for traditional Catholics; Lesson from Holy Gospel: Mark 7, 31-37. At that time, Jesus, going out of the coasts of Tyre, came by Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. And they bring to Him one deaf and dumb: and they besought Him that He would lay His hand upon him. And taking him from the multitude apart, He put His fingers into his ears, and spitting, He touched his tongue: and looking up to heaven, He groaned, and said to him: "Ephpheta," which means, "Be thou opened." And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right. And He charged them that they should tell no man. But the more He charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it: and so much the more did they wonder, saying: "He hath done all things well; He hath made both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak."

Who among Christians are like the deaf and dumb of this gospel?
Those who are deaf to the voice of God, and dumb in prayer, in the praise of God, in the defense of religion, and of the good name of their neighbor, and in confessing their sins.
Why did Christ take the deaf and dumb man aside?
Because He did not seek the praise of men, and at the same time was loath to provoke too soon the hatred of His enemies.
Why did Jesus put His fingers into the ears of the deaf and dumb, and spitting, touch his tongue?
To show this unfortunate person by signs that it was He Who freed him from his bodily evils, and that the healing power was not the consequence of secretly given remedies, but proceeded immediately from Himself.
Why did Jesus look up to heaven and groan?
1. To show that He acted not as mere man, but that He had received all power from His eternal Father. 2. That He might thereby awaken and animate the deaf and dumb man to confidence in His power and belief in His divine mission. 3. Learn hence to practice the beautiful virtue of compassion for others sufferings, and to acknowledge that every good gift is from above.
Why did Christ charge them that they should tell no man?
That we might learn not to seek the praise of men for our good deeds. Let us learn to make known the works of God to His glory; for He is continually working before our eyes everyday so many wonders, in order that we may praise His benignity and omnipotence.
