Ephphatha - the Greek form of a Syro-Chaldaic or Aramaic word, meaning \"Be opened,\" uttered by Christ when healing the man who was deaf and dumb (Mark 7:34). It is one of the characteristics of Mark that he uses the very Aramaic words which fell from our Lord\'s lips. (See 3:17; 5:41; 7:11; 14:36; 15:34.)

Explanation:
Hola, Leticia.

EPHPHATHA
Phil Brennan
Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2003

Then some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged him to place his hand on the man. After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's tongue. He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, "Ephphatha!" (which means, 'Be opened!' ). At this, the man's ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly. – Mark 7, 32-35
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
A REBIRTH IN THE WORD.
As an ancient usage, “Ephphatha” is commanded of everyone in baptism. Touched at the ears, then on the lips, the one reborn in the sacrament of new life is ordered, “Be opened!” This ritual of opening the ears and the lips symbolizes the important dimension in the new life of communion with the Triune God wherein one becomes open to the Word of the Father through the Son in the Holy Spirit. Henceforth, the Christian is open to divine communication and should persevere in the reception of God’s Word. For him the Word is life. It is the two-edge sword that shapes him and is constantly giving form to his being a believer. This is evangelization: The Gospel of Jesus Christ as the Word of God providing us the irreplaceable light in any true Christian life.

EL BAUTISMO DEL ESPÍRITU SANTO

Muchas personas se sorprenden cuando oyen decir que los sordos pueden y reciben el Bautismo del Espíritu Santo, y de que ellos \"HABLAN EN LENGUAS\".

Pero usted dirá, ¿Cómo pueden ellos hablar en lenguas siendo mudos? Los sordos no son mudos, ellos tienen voz. No es una voz como la de los oyentes, por falta de uso. Ellos hablarán en lenguas de acuerdo con lo que su voz les permita. He visto personalmente a muchos sordos ser bautizados en el Espíritu Santo, y les he escuchado hablar en lenguas espirituales.

Recuerde que los sordos tienen un espíritu igual al suyo y al mío. Dios los puede llenar con su Santo Espíritu. Dios no está limitado a nuestro entendimiento, ni por un impedimento como la sordera. Todos aquellos que tengan hambre y busquen a Dios serán llenados.

Nosotros recibimos el poder para vivir una vida cristiana, al igual que el poder para hacer el trabajo de Dios el la tierra. Ese es su regalo para nosotros, su Iglesia. Cuando los sordos bienen a ser parte de la iglesia a través de la salvación, entonces ellos también tienen el derecho de ser llenos del Espíritu Santo.
