Today's readings contrast how sin
divides but Jesus restores. Solomon's unfaithfulness and idolatry lead to
kingdom's division: ten tribes to Jeroboam, leaving one for David's sake. Sin
fractures unity, and closes hearts. In Gospel, Jesus heals a deaf man with a
speech impediment, He touches the man's ears and tongue, and says
"Ephphatha", "Be opened." Instantly healed, the man hears
and speaks. Jesus reverses sin's effects, opening what’s closed, mending
divisions. Let’s open our ears to His voice, and our hearts to His love.
