Today’s Gospel lesson describes a brief episode in which Jesus was asked to lay His hands on “a deaf man who had a speech impediment.” Jesus put his fingers in the man’s ears and, spitting, touched the man’s tongue. “Then He looked up to heaven, emitted a groan and said ‘Be opened!’ At once the man’s ears were opened; he was freed from the impediment, and began to speak plainly” (Mk. 7:3335). The people who witnessed this miracle were filled with awe and wonder. In the Gospel writer’s words, “Their amazement went beyond all bounds” (Mk. 7:37).
Your “amazement” will soar “beyond all bounds” the day you begin to understand that you are special in God’s creative plan. Each of you is one of God’s “originals”-wonderfully mysterious in your own uniqueness. Like the Universe itself, your life is vast and in motion. You are necessary. You belong. God’s plan for the fulfillment of His creation includes you, needs you.
