CATHOLIC MASS READINGS: Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time 2.17.19 – USCCB/ NABRE
“Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours. Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven. For their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way. …”

CATHOLIC MASS READINGS: Saturday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time 2.16.19 – USCCB/ NABRE
“In those days when there again was a great crowd without anything to eat, Jesus summoned the disciples and said,
‘My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, because they have been with me now for three days
and have nothing to eat. If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will collapse on the way, and some of them have come a great distance.’ … taking the seven loaves He gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to His Disciples to distribute … They also had a few fish. He said the Blessing over them and ordered them distributed also. They ate and were satisfied. They picked up the fragments left over – seven baskets. There were about four thousand people. …”
CATHOLIC FAITHLINK: “The Key to Jesus’ Ministry in One Word: ‘Ephphatha’” – Catholic Exchange/ Stephen Beale
“… Then He looked up to heaven and groaned. ‘Ephphatha!’ Jesus said. So goes the account of the healing of the deaf man near the Sea of Galilee, as told in Mark. The word is one of a handful of words in Aramaic—believed to be the vernacular language of Jesus—that survived into the Greek New Testament. We don’t have to find an Aramaic dictionary to discover the meaning of this word. Mark readily supplies a definition: Be opened! Immediately, then, we are told that the man’s ears were ‘opened’ and that he was able to speak. …”

CATHOLIC MASS READINGS: Friday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time 2.15.19 – USCCB/ NABRE
“… He put His Finger into the man’s ears and, spitting, touched his tongue; then He looked up to Heaven and groaned, and said to him, ‘Ephphatha!’ (that is, ‘Be opened!’) And immediately the man’s ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly. … They were exceedingly astonished and they said, ‘He has done all things well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.'”
