We conclude Mark's seventh chapter with another encounter of a Gentile in Gentile Territory - this one blind with a speech impediment.  Jesus takes him off on his own...and only there is wholeness found.  My friends, there is truth there for us as well - and it relates to our baptism.

Then I tell a story of our daughter Bridget (the same one who created the music for this podcast) in relation to this feast day: Our Lady of Lourdes
