CHILD PROTECTION SUNDAY

First Reading: Is 35:4-7 A reading from the prophet Isaiah

Responsorial Psalm: Praise the Lord, my soul!

Second Reading: Jas 2:1-5 A reading from the le'er of St James

Gospel Acclama�on: Alleluia, alleluia!

Jesus preached the Good News of the kingdom

and healed all who were sick.

Alleluia!

Gospel: Mk 7:31-37 A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark

Again Jesus leB the district of Tyre and went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, into the

district of the Decapolis. And people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impedi-

ment and begged him to lay his hand on him. He took him off by himself away from the

crowd. He put his finger into the man’s ears and, spiEng, touched his tongue; then he looked

up to heaven and groaned, and said to him, “Ephphatha!”— that is, “Be opened!” — And im-

mediately the man’s ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke

plainly. He ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more he ordered them not to, the more

they proclaimed it. They were exceedingly astonished and they said, “He has done all things

well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
