Sun 23 B (09.09.12) Mk 7.31-37

The dilemma from last Sunday: traditions or heart-decisions
may get today a clarification.
EFFATA is the slogan:              as open as possible:
                                                   open the internal and external senses
                                                   perceive what really happen
                                                   feel the mood; hear the music
                                                   take in the message
Once we had at the Baptism the sign "effata"
to show everybody: to be open is a mark of Christian existence.
There was a time, the Pope (Giovanni XXIII / 1962) has encouraged us:
open the windows, open the doors - let the wind come in...
the holy Spirit, the soul of the cosmos, may fertilize the Church.
