WEDNESDAY 30th JUNE 2021
Matthew 8, 28-34:
“Two people possessed with demons came out of the tombs to meet Jesus; they were so violent that no one dared to pass that way.”
Today’s Gospel tells us that “from the tombs two possessed with demons run to meet Jesus”.
They are two men who, although alive, are dead. They do not live with the people, but their dwelling place is “in the tombs”.
The power of Jesus casts out of them the diabolical possession that chained them and made them dangerous to all who approached them. How often in our lives do we also dwell and walk among the “tombs” possessed by a thousand “devils” who torment us.
We are tormented and possessed by the devils of sadness, hopelessness, fear, disillusionment, hatred, resentment.
You too go out today to meet Jesus. He is stronger than all your “graves” and all your “demons”. You will also be able to go out joyful and happy because Jesus, with his strength and power, casts out of you everything that makes you live in chains.
Good day.
