Parish News: Twenty Third Sunday and Week of the Year

When Jesus heals the man who cannot hear or speak, it is both a sign and a miracle. For the man who is can now speak and hear, a whole world that was closed to him is now open. And this is a sign of what Jesus is doing for all – opening up a reality where all can know God and experience his eternal love.
