Tuesday within the 22nd week in Year C. Luke 4: 31-37
Be quiet!
Our life is a constant struggle or a constant fight against physical but mainly spiritual forces. In today's Gospel, the evil spirit reveals the humanity as well as the divinity of Jesus. By silencing the unclean spirit, Jesus manifests his authority over all powers (seen and unseen). Yes, evil exists and can be very damaging, but our God is stronger than evil, darkness, and sin. When confronted with worries, sins, oppressions, depression and hidden forces, we should always trust in the power of the Lord, who can set us free. Our daily prayers and participation in the Holy Eucharist are important. It is our participation in the work of salvation and liberation of the world. Following Christ with faith and confidence is a great testimony that, He alone has authority and power to set our world from the seen and the unseen powers. Nothing, and I can boldly say it. Nothing can overcome the power Christ.
Jesus, I trust in you
Holy Archangels and angels of God, pray for us
