In Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus opens the ears of a deaf man with the command, “Be opened!” Bring the readings home this week by asking yourself and your family what it means to “Be open.” How do we open ourselves to the presence of God each day? How do we open ourselves to those around us so they can see God in us? Proclaim the Good News in your words and deeds, challenging others to “Be open!”

Bring It Home is published each Thursday by the Office for Catholic Youth and Young Adult Ministry in an effort to assist parents in fulfilling their role as the first teachers in the ways of faith. Feel free to share these tips with friends. To subscribe others, please click here.
