July 10, 2012 – Matthew 9:32 – 38 – Jesus heals one who was mute


"After they had gone away, a demoniac who was mute was brought to him. And when the demon had been cast out, the one who had been mute  spoke, and the crowds were amazed and said, “Never has anything like this been seen in Israel.” But the Pharisee said, “By the ruler of the demons he casts out the demons.”"

Fr. Glenn McDonald said that we could identify strongly the Pharisees in the gospel because they were blind to the actions of Jesus. The Pharisees had limited experience of God, who could not see His compassion. We are invited to think about the image of God and experience God in our hearts by moving faith from our head to our heart. By having unique thought of God, we can reflect on the image of God and ask for grace to experience Him in a fuller way.
