His speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly.

“And immediately the man’s ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly.” (MK 7: 35)

Our “speech impediment” is connected with our ability to listen. When we open our ears to listen to others, accept what we heard, we can speak plainly. This is why somebody says: we have two ears to listen and only one mouth to speak.

“Jesus proclaimed the Gospel of the kingdom and cured every disease among the people.” (Gospel Acclamation)
