Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 89: 20, 21-22, 25-26
Alleluia: Second Timothy 1: 10
Gospel: Mark 3: 22-30
In today’s gospel reading in Mark 3:22-30, Jesus was attacked in the severest terms possible when opponents accused Him of being an agent of the dark side. “It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons.” Jesus dismissed their charge as totally illogical, since why would Satan drive himself out? If this were the case, the kingdom of Satan would be divided against itself and could not stand. Evil is the absence of God and causes division. We have to fight with all our strength and our heart because the devil tempts us. He causes division.
This is the 1365th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.
[NOTE: As we continue to pray for Bro Bong Arjonillo’s healing and recovery, let us listen to our brother Eric Villanueva, Mission Head for CFC Europe and the Americas, as he brings us today's reflection.
All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives. This video is also available on Couples for Christ’s Facebook page. In You Tube, just type ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS]
