Reflection 1/30/17

This gospel is another one that reminds us that our situation may seem hopeless, but with God all things are possible. Just before this reading, Jesus, calms a storm that seemed impossible to do.  Jesus is on His way to heal a man that is possessed by many demons. The man is roaming among the dead and chained and his life of freedom seems hopeless.   Yet, Jesus, stands right there to confront the demons and they plead "don't torment us" 

Evil compounds evil and our freedom lies in Christ.

What are the demons that chain me to the dead?  (FEAR!!) How does Jesus heal us? (LOVE!!!)

Find Hope that in situations that seem hopeless, there stands Truth, waiting to free us. 

May we not say "Don't torment my comfortable life", but, with the passion of Christ remember He, the Truth, will set us free.
