Her er litt av talen i engelsk oversettelse fra Bloggen Closed Cafeteria<\/a>:<\/p>\n

There is a hard-of-hearing towards God which we suffer from in this age. We simply cannot hear Him anymore – there are too many other frequencies in our ears. What is said about Him seems pre-scientific, no longer fitting for our time. With this hard-of-hearing, or even deafness, towards God we naturally lose our ability to speak with and to Him. Because of that, we lack a decisive perceptive faculty. Our internal senses are threatening to die off. With this loss in perception the radius of our relation to reality is drastically and dangerously curtailed.<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

The space of our live is reduced in a threatening manner. The Gospel tells us that Jesus put his fingers in the ears of the deaf man, with some saliva, and said «Ephata – open!» The Evangelist has preserved the original Aramaic word for us that Jesus spoke and thereby leads us straight into the moment it happened.<\/p>\n

What is recounted is unique and still does not belong to a distant past: Jesus does the same in a new manner today, over and over again. In baptism, Jesus performs this gesture of touching and says Ephata – open yourself to be able to listen to God. By that he also gives us the ability to speak with\/to God.<\/p>\n

This process, the sacrament of baptism, is nothing magical. Baptism opens up a path. It leads us into the community of the listening and speaking – a community with Jesus himself who is the only person to have seen God and is able to tell us about HIm: Through faith, he wants to share with us this seeing of God, listening to God and speaking with the Father.<\/p>\n

The path of being baptized must become a process of growth, in which we grow into life with God and thereby gain a new perspective on people and creation. The Gospel invites us to realize that there is a deficit in perception in us, a lack that at first we do not experience as one, because everything else insists on its urgency and logic; because everything is apparently happening normally, even when we no longer have ears and eyes for God and live without Him.<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
