Today we celebrate the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time the Solemnity of Brotherly Love, and the Eleventh anniversary of the Tragedy of 9/11.
This Sunday gives us the example of the man who was deaf and mute, and Jesus heals him. Today’s Gospel reminds us that we are all in the same position in relation to God and to others. We need brothers who can lead us to the Church and to Jesus. We need the healing meeting with our Lord and after this we need to be the messengers of the Good News to the other people. This is our way to be the Christians in our surroundings, city and our country.
The Eucharist is the real encounter with Jesus Christ. This meeting can heal our body and soul as Jesus healed the man who was deaf. We need only to believe in the real presence of Jesus in the Church, which is the real preserver of the will of God through the ages.
