LEAVE
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
Enter
into the stillness of God within.
Reading: “Then they begsn to implore
Jesus to leave the neighbourhood.” (Mark 5:1-20)
Reflection. Jesus is in the country of
the Gerasenes and he drives out a “legion” of evil spirits from a man out of
his mind he is so tormented. The locals are over awed but cannot handle it and
ask Jesus to go. Imagine! He has come to heal and to give life to the full and
they tell him to go away and leave them alone! Sometimes we live in the “country
of the Gerasenes” and really don’t want disturbance. But when we ignore it or
keep it far from us we have to be careful. Perhaps we are also keeping healing
away too?
Prayer. Lord, help us to notice
your coming – even in disturbances. Amen.
