St. Timothy's Offices will open this weekend Starting with Mass on Sunday, August 11th in Celebration of the 11th Sunday after Trinity.

Jesus heals the deaf man in Mark 7 and says "Ephphatha, Be Opened," symbolizing the opening of spiritual ears to hear God's voice.

Ephphatha: Hearing God’s Voice Above Life’s Noise

In this Trinity 12 sermon on Mark 7:31-37, Fr. Dan reflects on Jesus healing the deaf man and connects the miracle to modern spiritual deafness caused by constant noise, distraction, and technology. Christ’s command, “Ephphatha” (“Be opened”), becomes a call for Christians to seek silence, hear God’s voice, and be transformed by His grace.

Jesus weeping over Jerusalem at sunset with the Temple in the distance, reflecting on God's grace and the call to repentance.

When Jesus Wept: Preparing the Heart for Christ

Jesus wept over Jerusalem because the people failed to recognize God’s visitation and the peace He offered. In Luke 19:41–47, Christ’s tears and His cleansing of the Temple reveal the depth of divine love that seeks not to condemn, but to restore. Fr. Dan challenges believers to examine their hearts, remove spiritual clutter, and welcome Christ fully, allowing Him to transform them into living houses of prayer.
