This is the true problem of life, of Christian life, of the life of the Church, of the mission of the Church. If Christ is not encountered, if he is not truly experienced as present, it is as if He does not exist and as if there is no sense in the Church existing.

Jesus was going to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve disciples and said to them, “Behold, the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, they will condemn him to death, hand him over to be mocked, scourged and crucified, he will be raised on the third day.”

“The greatest among you must be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” Do you want your life to truly make a difference in the lives of others? My humble Lord, thank You for the witness of Your humility.

“Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.” Mercy goes both ways. It is part of the very essence of mercy that it can only be received if it is given.

At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was hungry. Matthew 4:1–2 Seek to embrace the road of virtue this Lent in imitation of Jesus’ forty days and nights in the desert.

Jesus saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the customs post. He said to him, "Follow me." And leaving everything behind, he got up and followed him. Luke 5:27–28 For each of us that choice needs to be deepened each and every day. How is Jesus inviting you, today.

Be open to God acting through you in a profound and powerful way so that even the most seemingly irredeemable person you know will be given hope through you.

Perhaps they have hurt you over and over or perhaps they have chosen a life of grave sin. Look at that person in the light of this Gospel and know that there is always hope.

There are those who have gone so far astray that they seem hopeless. But one thing this story tells us is that hope is never lost for anyone—not even those completely possessed by a multitude of demons. Reflect, today, upon anyone in your life whom you have written off.

If Jesus could transform the life of the man who was completely possessed by a Legion of demons, then no one is ever without hope. Too often, especially within our families and among old friends, there are those whom we have written off as irredeemable.

I found this on Facebook. This is how people are suffering in the villages and its not a joke. As we (priests) visit the sick and elderly in the village, we find most of them in similar situation.
