Thursday, January 23, 2020 — Second week of Ordinary time — Gospel of Jesus-Christ according to Saint Mark 3, 7-12 — Our Savior, Christ Jesus, destroyed death; he made life shine through the Gospel.
Jesus does not deprive anyone of his choice, but the decision is simple: either we are with Him or we are against Him. When we are with Him, who do we really take Jesus for? Is it the adored and revered God? Or a friend to whom we share secrets, a faithful confidant? Is He the one who never abandons us? Or is it simply some individual to whom we address complaints in order to relieve ourselves of the burden? Is he the little stooge who is made to bend to our whims? Or is it simply a companion of fortune for want of anything better? It is up to us to take into account what He is to us.
Around him, everyone had their own ideas about who He really is. Even the demons conffessed " You are the Son of God". So, let us renew and strengthen our faith and devotion in our Lord and Savior. Jesus heals, takes away the yokes, that means that evil will not triumph.
