In Isaiah 35:4-7 we hear the Lord tell us to fear not! The Lord says that we will come to save us! These are very reassuring thoughts in our troubled times. In Mark 7:34 Jesus says "Ephphatha!" (that is "Be Opened"). We have been told to be strong, fear not and be opened. Since we trust God will always be faithful we have the strength to live out our vocations. What is the Lord's calling us to be opened to this week?
