Wednesday July 5th: Held hostage in darkness

“And this is the judgement, the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.”

Mathew 8: 28-34

We encounter blocks on our path in life: supernatural, our own concupiscence or our inner ‘demons’ because of our woundedness. These blockages can propel us headlong into disastrous situations with bonds that hold us captive in tombs of fear until we become afraid of the Light.
Our society seems to reflect this ‘ Gadarene story ‘ as we are held hostage by the pursuit of sin and evil deeds.
Yet, with one word-GO! Jesus our freedom fighter, our deliverer, can set us free. Do we want to be healed? Do we desire to walk in the light of holiness and renunciation?
Send us the Advocate, O Lord. Renew the hearts of men. Remove the scales from our eyes so we can embrace the Light and be free. Amen
