Wisdom From Our Pastor Jesus first miracle was in conquering the power of evil, curing a poor man who was possessed by devils. It was an awesome event, moving the crowds to a mixture of wonder and fear. It showed them that Jesus was much more than an ordinary good human being. Jesus fought with the powers of evil as a superior. When he spoke, the devils obeyed. He proved that no human can be possessed by foreign evil powers if they are “owned� by God. The paradox is that the one devil that Jesus cannot control is the devil we sometimes make of ourselves. The one evil that he cannot exorcize is the devilishness deep inside us which causes our sin. Only we, with the help of God, can cast out that devil. At the beginning of his public life Jesus climbed a mountain and conquered the evil temptations of Satan. In less than three years he would climb another mountain and be killed by the devil in the hearts of his persecutors. For now, he walked the streets of Capernaum curing those who asked for release from the evil that twisted their lives. It was truly a happy time in the life of Jesus. He had his friends around him. He spoke and people listened. He acted with power and cured their sicknesses. Jesus seemed at peace with the world and its people. People came to him in faith and he reached out to them with love. Indeed, a good time was had by all. It would not last. In three years Jesus would be killed by many of the same people that he now cured. But for now, this first year of his public life looked like a very good year and Jesus and his friends were very happy. Later on his disciples would remember it as a taste of heaven on the peaceful shores of the Sea of Galilee.

The Daily Prayer of Saint Teresa Dear Jesus, help me to spread your fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with your spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of You. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others. Amen.
