Affirmation
“The fact is, we are all connected to each other. Everything we do creates ripples in the stream of life that reach much farther than we can see. Even our small deeds of kindness make a wide-spread difference. So too our sins. This is why we go to a priest for Confession: Through him, absolution comes not only from Christ but from the whole Body of Christ that’s on earth, in purgatory and in heaven.In today’s Gospel story, Jesus gets rid of a legion of demons. As Christ’s earthly Body now, we continue his ministry. Together, we are a powerful, undefeatable, miracle-working unit of holy strength that casts out evil. Together, we have all the power of Christ.The absence of those who are not active in Christian community is grievous, for this diminishes what the Body can do. The world suffers because of the individualism of “Christians” who don’t worship together, and because some of us are too preoccupied with our self-focused desires to provide our gifts and talents to the works of the Church, and because some clergy and lay leaders assert self-importance instead of imitating Christ’s style of servant-leadership.Do you feel worthless or lonely? The cure is in your connection to the community, where you serve and are served.”
The above is an excerpts i’ve taken from the Daily Reflection, http://gnm.org/index.shtml about todays gospel.
This just reaffirmed my notion from my last few posts on living our lives as a Christian community. But i shall not add on any further. Dun want to sound too loso (long winded) kwim?
