Reflection on the Gospel of Thursday of Week 2 Yr. B by Rev Fr Julian O Ekeh

 

ALL THE UNCLEAN SPIRITS FELL DOWN

(Mark 3:7-12)

This is a good news. The unclean spirits saw Jesus and fell down in the gospel reading of today.

Jesus comes to encounter the spirits operating in us. He comes with the Holy Spirit. He expects to be embraced by the life-giving spirit he breathed in us at creation. But unfortunately, He is greeted often times by the unclean spirits.

Why do we welcome the unclean spirits? What are the spirits you made room for in your life? Have you unfortunately made room for the spirit of greed, jealousy, wickedness, diabolism, addiction to sex or alcohol, laziness, carnal living etc?

Welcome Jesus once more. Expose these spirits to the Real Presence of Christ that they may fall and confess that Jesus is Lord. Bring them face to face with Jesus the son of God. Make them lose grip of your soul and their operation in your life.

Child of God, are you suffering from the power of the enemy in your life that you can't explain how they took over your life, your joy, your health, your wealth, your prayer life, your marriage, your vocation or profession, your peace and fulfilment?

Calm down, Jesus is here. Come close to Him. Come with the desire to have the unclean forces expelled. Jesus comes with divine orders to make the devil a failure in your life. May the evil plans and operations over your life fall down and remain silent and impotent forever.

LET US PRAY

Lord Jesus Christ, I thank You as I worship Your Divine Majesty this day. I present myself to You. Search me and scan me through and through. Remove from me whatever that is not deposited in me by Your Spirit. Put to flight every unclean spirit. At the release of Your word and before Your Real Presence Oh Lord, let every power tormenting and terrorising my life fall down and be destroyed forever and ever. Amen

St Agnes, pray for us.

God bless your Thursday (Week 2, Ordinary Time, Yr B)
