Aid to the Church in Need
With the outbreak of the war after 7 October, the international Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) stepped up its support for the Christian communities in the Holy Land, having already been supporting the Church there for a decade prior. Currently, ACN directly supports 602 families through the provision of food coupons: 128 families with the payment of expenses, such as utilities, and 122 individuals with medical support.

Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
8 September 2024
The healing of the deaf mute provides us with an opportunity to reflect on the importance of communication in our lives. The healing touch of Jesus brought the man from isolation into community. Who have been the people who touched you when you felt isolated and alone (perhaps during the Covid lockdown) and helped you to come out of painful aloneness? For whom have you done this? Deafness is symbolic of being unable to hear what is being said to us. What a difference when our ears are opened! Perhaps you can recall a time when your ears were opened, and you heard in a new way that you were loved – by God or by another person. Words are not the only form of communication. Actions can speak louder than words. Recall times when this was brought home to you. Being able to say what is in you is the other side of communication.
Pope Francis
The disciples do not always understand what the Master says and does. At times they struggle to accept the paradoxes of His love (cf. Mt 5:38-48), the extreme demands of His mercy (cf. Mt 18:21-22), the radical nature of His way of giving Himself to all. It is not easy for them to understand, but they are faithful. Jesus’ choices often go beyond common thinking, beyond the very canons of institutional religion and traditions to the point of creating provocative and embarrassing situations (cf. Mt 15:12). It is not easy to follow Him.
