Borrowed from another site with permission.  I thought it was interesting.

The healing that occurs in today’s gospel might not be very significant to us or we may just think of it as another miracle that the Lord performed. The method Jesus used to hill this man is still practiced, the Ephphata Rite is a part of the Sacrament of Baptism when the priest symbolically opens the ears and mouth of the person to be baptized to mark the opening of the mind and the heart of the person to receive God into them.

Throughout history disobedience and sin have corrupted us and cloud our judgments, our minds, and hearts. The Lord as He healed the deaf man showed that not only that He could heal us from our physical infirmities but in fact also from our spiritual problems and the root of all evil and suffering.  God alone can heal us and forgive us our sins.

Now, as Christians what is our attitude towards the Lord? Is it one of willingness to listen to Him and to welcome Him into our hearts and our minds? Or do we place our desires, our pride, ambition, and ego above our love for the Lord? Let us not repeat the mistakes made by our predecessors, all those who have chosen to follow the Lord and His path?

Let us all turn towards the Lord with a new heart and with a new faith, and let us all appreciate all that He has done for us, welcoming Him into our midst and allowing Him to touch our lives, to heal us, and to make us whole once again, purging from within us all traces of stubbornness and faithlessness. May God bless us all, and be with us always. Amen.
