Proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Mark. As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the house of Simon and Andrew.
Simon's mother-in-law was in bed, with a fever; and without delay they told him of her. 31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; immediately the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
32 In the evening, after sundown, all the sick and possessed of the devil took him. 33 All the city was gathered together before the door. 34 He healed many who were oppressed with various diseases, and cast out many devils. He would not allow them to speak, because they knew him.
35 And it came to pass in the morning, that he arose long before dawn, that he went out, and went into a desert place, and there he prayed. 36 Simon and his companions went out to meet him.
37 They found him and said to him, "All seek you." 38 And he said to them, "Let us go into the neighboring villages, that I may preach there also; for this is why I came."
39 And he departed thence, and preached in all the synagogues, and throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils. Word of Salvation.
___________________________________________________________________________ A. BIGCUORE´S REFLECTION. Jesus, the greatest of all the Masters, in this Gospel continues to develop his evangelizing mission.
Peter's mother-in-law was sick and Jesus healed her. Subsequently "He healed many who were oppressed of various diseases, and cast out MANY DEMONS. He would not allow them to speak, because they knew him. "
It is important to note that Jesus was not a magician. They did and make many SIGNS, in a gesture of great mercy for those who suffer all kinds of diseases. She did this for the healing of the body, but especially for the healing of the Spirit of sick people.
Only the Holy Spirit sets free, which is the Spirit of Jesus Himself! "The forces of evil that prostrate the human being are annihilated by Jesus, which reduces them to silence. After an intense day, the Master needs rest and to seek strength from the Father "(Daily Liturgy, p.
We can infer from this text that suffering seizes every human being, regardless of social class. Suffering is inherent in the human condition. Every Christian, in order to be able to resist the snares of the Evil One, must be well fed with the bread of the Word of God and, above all, with the Holy Eucharist. Without sacramental life, the Christian can not assimilate the hardships that life imposes on us.
Demons attack when we are weak; with the "low guard". And they also attack the children of God, for he who is of the world belongs to him and is dominated. Let us also ask the intercession of Mary Immaculate of the Conception, the First Christian and first Disciple of her Son Jesus, who strengthens us physically, mentally and spiritually to drive out the evil spirit.
That descends upon You, your family, your friends and relatives, the blessing of God, rich in Mercy, He who is + Father, + Son and + Holy Spirit. Amen!
