Isaiah speaks of the wonders God does in the Earth, bringing speech to the mute, sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, and water gushing forth in dry, parched places--a sign of God restoring the Earth.
We see Jesus doing just that in the Gospel reading, healing a deaf man with a speech impediment, not for healing's sake only, but to show God's power to transform our world for the better, that all acknowledge His Reign.
This transformation occurs when we open ourselves to God's power to work in us, and through us. It happens when we look to the poor, in whom God has chosen to work the power of His reign, lifting up the lowly that they may acclaim Him.
