For 30 June 2021, Wednesday of week 13 in Ordinary Time, based on Matthew 8:28-34
When Jesus came to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs coming out of the tombs met him. They were so fierce that no one could pass that way. Suddenly they shouted, ‘What have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?’ Now a large herd of swine was feeding at some distance from them. The demons begged him, ‘If you cast us out, send us into the herd of swine.’ And he said to them, ‘Go!’ So they came out and entered the swine; and suddenly, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and perished in the water. The swineherds ran off, and on going into the town, they told the whole story about what had happened to the demoniacs. Then the whole town came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their neighbourhood.

Hi Megn,
Thanks for your sharing. The reality of the struggles we have as a country makes us turn to Jesus for guidance and courage to face them and act.

I believe the greatest threat we face is secularism. We don’t need to dismantle systems so much as work to renew faith in God. This is our mission: love God above all else, and love your neighbor as yourself. Simple. Not easy, perhaps, but simple and perfect. I’m trying.
