Scripture

Then will the eyes of the blind be opened, the ears of the deaf be cleared; (Isaiah 35)

The LORD gives sight to the blind; the LORD raises up those who were bowed down. (Psalm 146:8,9)

Did not God choose those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom ? (James 2:5)

“He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak." (Mark 7:37)

Reflection

God gives sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, mobility to the lame, speech to the mute, raising those bowed

down, and faith to the poor.

- If someone is full/complete, is it possible to find God?

- Is everyone incomplete without God?

- Does the lure of worldly riches make a promise that it cannot keep?

- How are you weak? Is this a good thing for you?

Gandhi recognized, as no other world leader of our time has done, the necessity to be free from the pressures, the

exorbitant and tyrannical demands of a society that is violent because it is essentially greedy, lustful and cruel.

Therefore he fasted, observed days of silence, lived frequently in retreat, knew the value of solitude, as well as of

totally generous expenditure of his time and energy in listening to others and communicating with them. He recog-

nized the impossibility of being peaceful and nonviolent man if one submits passively to the insatiable requirements

of a society maddened by over-stimulation and obsessed with the demons of noise, voyeurism and speed. “Jesus

died in vain,” said Gandhi, “if he did not teach us to regulate the whole of life by the eternal law of love.” (Merton,

Thomas, New Seeds of Contemplation, New Direction: New York, 1972, p. 163)

Military Council of Catholic Women (MCCW)

MCCW at Fort Gordon offers FAITH STUDY on Monday morn-

ings from 9:30 - 11:00am followed by daily Mass for those who can attend. This

year we will study Catholicism by Fr. Robert Barron. Journey Around the World

and Deep into the Faith. Fr. Robert Barron created the groundbreaking CA-

THOLICISM ADULT STUDY PROGRAM as a thematic presentation of what

Catholics believe and why, so all adults can come to a deeper understanding of

the Catholic Faith. Not a video lecture, Church history or scripture study. This

engaging and interesting formational program uses the art, architecture, litera-

ture, music and all the treasures of the Catholic tradition to illuminate the time-

less teachings of the Church. Margaret Lepak will facilitate. We look forward to

seeing you there! If you would like to attend and need childcare, your child must

be registered with CYS Central Registration. Please contact Jessica Burris at
