Monday of week 4 in Ordinary Time

I would like to highlight a few points:
Which are the present day “Legions” that take over our lives and leave us not in control and “unfree” to love? Is it the desire to pursue of wealth and power at any cost? Is it consumerism, addiction, anger, impatience, … Whatever it might be, let’s present ourselves honestly in front of Jesus and ask him to “clean” us, to free us for love. This story shows us that Jesus’ salvation is available to all. If we have the courage to stand in front of Jesus just the way we are, we will be liberated to live in the peace and joy that friendship with Jesus brings.
Once healed by Jesus, the man in the story was missioned by him to go and tell his people how he had been freed. Let us be attentive to our mission of sharing with our lives, the good news of Jesus’ healing presence in our mist.
Let us also be aware that we might be confronted by rejection. The people in the town, “they were afraid” and they begged Jesus to leave, they probably did not want that man to stay either.
