23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Gospel Reflection
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.
Mark 7:33–35
My healing Lord, when You took on human form, You united divinity with humanity.
Through Your sacred humanity, You poured forth Your grace and mercy and continue to do so today.
Please use me, dear Lord, as an instrument of Your grace.
May I always humbly see myself as Your unworthy instrument, whom You choose to use despite my unworthiness.
Jesus, I trust in You.

Firstly a hearty welcome to all who have moved into our parishes in recent times!
Many thanks for visiting our Parish website. This site has been designed with three aims:
Firstly to aid the work of our priests in our parishes in preaching the word of Jesus and their teaching of His message to us.
Secondly to aid parents, children and adults as our children and young adults prepare for the Sacraments and also for adults who are preparing for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).
Thirdly to reflect the wider community among whom we live and the various activities and organisations that go to make up our community. We acknowledge and respect the diversity of faiths and origins in our multi-faith and multi-ethnic community.
We invite your views and contributions on church and parish life. Also as this site was built with limited resources there may be aspects that could be improved – do let us know.
Feel free to e-mail us at edgeworthstownparish@gmail.com
