“He has done all things well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”

The first reading from Isaiah for this Sunday is part of a prophecy that God will free his
people and restore them to the land he promised them. Isaiah spoke these words when the
Israelites were being conquered by the Assyrian Empire.
Isaiah said, “then will the eyes of the blind be opened, the ears of the deaf be cleared...”
When Jesus heals the deaf man, people wonder if Isaiah’s prophecy is coming true. On two
different occasions later in this Gospel Jesus will heal a blind man (8:22f, 10:42f), showing
yet again that he fulfills Isaiah’s prophecy.
The deaf man is changed physically. The crowd is changed spiritually. Just as the man is
now able to hear and speak clearly, so the crowds that have listened to Jesus now proclaim
his deeds. Jesus tells the people not to speak about what happened. One explanation for
this is Jesus simply wants a break from all the attention, but it’s more likely that he doesn’t
want to be misunderstood.
Although Jesus fulfills the prophecy that God’s kingdom is coming, he does so in a way that
will shock and horrify people: he will be crucified. The crowds think they hear and see Jesus
loudly and clearly, but there’s much more that they have to learn about who he is and what
he offers.
Jesus begins the healing in a manner that is typical of that era. People believed that saliva
had healing properties. Putting one’s fingers into a deaf person’s ears symbolized the deaf-
ness that the healer was trying to cure, just as touching the tongue was a sign of freeing the
person to speak clearly. Looking up to heaven was a gesture of appeal for divine aid.
However, Jesus also acts differently from a typical healer. He speaks one word of command:
be opened. Other healers were likely to rattle off a stream of words as a sort of magical
incantation. Why Jesus groaned, however, is unclear. It might have been part of the ancient
healing formula or an expression of anger at the man’s disability.

Roof Replacement
                                                       You may have noticed that the scaffolding has been removed from
                                                       the bell tower, revealing a sparkling exterior! Those repairs, along
                                                       with the tile roof replacement on the main part of the church, have
                                                       concluded. Next, we'll begin repairing the flat roof – the culprit of
                                                       continuous water leakage and damage. Your ongoing contributions
                                                       are very much appreciated and critical to the upkeep of St. Michael
                                                       the Archangel. Anything you are able to contribute over and above
                                                       your usual giving will have a meaningful impact.

 DEACON'S CORNER
  This is my final “Deacon’s Corner”.
  May we all be in that number when the

  Blessings,
  Deacon Tom

                     Deacon Tom Newhouse thoughtfully and lovingly wrote his last issue for
                     Deacon's Corner before passing away on Sunday, August 29, 2021. We
                     are so grateful for his service to St. Michael the Archangel. Deacon Tom
                     was ordained on May 9, 1987 and assigned to our parish in 1999. Even
                     in retirement, and until the very end of his life, he continued sharing his
                     wisdom and faith with us. Details of the funeral arrangements are
                     forthcoming.
                     God of mercy, as once you chose seven men of honest repute to serve your Church, so
                     also you chose Thomas as your servant and deacon. Grant that he may rejoice in your
                     eternal fellowship with all the heralds of your Gospel, for he was untiring in his ministry
                     here on earth. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. May his soul and the souls of all
                     the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

        Fair                             STARTING SEPTEMBER 11 & 12
                                         Our Annual Ministry Fair will look a little different this year!
                                         Starting September 11th and 12th every weekend after Vigil and
                                         Sunday Mass, we'll have representatives in the narthex from
                                         different St. Michael the Archangel ministries and organizations.
                                         This will give each group a chance to be highlighted and easily
                                         accessible to you.
                                         We hope you'll stop by and take some time after Mass to learn
                                         about our various parish ministries, faith formation opportunities,
                                         and organizations. Discover new ways to connect to parish life,
                                         find a place to grow spiritually, and serve our faith community
                                         with your gifts!
