Lectionary: 333 First Reading 1 Kings 11:29-32; 12:19 Now Jeroboam, Solomon's servant, went out of Jerusalem and met Ahijah the prophet from Shiloh on the road. Ahijah was wearing a new robe. They were alone together in the field. Ahijah took his robe, tore it into twelve pieces, and said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces, for the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you: ‘I am going to tear apart Solomon’s kingdom. I will give you ten tribes, but I will leave Solomon only one, for the sake of my servant David and Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.’” And from that time to this day, Israel has been separated from the house of David. Responsorial Psalm Psalm 80:10-11ab, 12-13, 14-15 R. (cf. 11a and 9a) Israel, I am your God; keep my commandments. You shall have no other gods before me, you shall not worship foreign gods. For I, the Lord, am your God, who brought you out of Egypt, your exile. R. Israel, I am your God: keep my commands. But Israel did not listen to my voice, and my people would not obey me. So I gave them over to their own whims, and let them live as they pleased. R. Israel, I am your God: keep my commands. If only my people would listen, and Israel would keep my commands! I would immediately humble their enemies, and their foes would feel my hand. R. Israel, I am your God: keep my commands. Acclamation before the Gospel Cf. Acts 16:14 R. Alleluia, alleluia. Open our hearts, O Lord, so that we may accept the words of your Son. R. Alleluia. Gospel Mark 7:31-37 At that time, Jesus left the region of Tyre and went by way of Sidon to the Sea of ​​Galilee, through the region of the Decapolis. Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hands on him. Taking him aside from the crowd, he put his fingers into the man’s ears and touched his tongue with saliva. Then, looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” which means “Be opened.” Immediately the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly. He ordered them not to tell anyone; but the more he ordered them, the more they proclaimed it. And all were amazed and said, “He has done everything well! He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
