THIRD
SATURDAY
Mark 5:1-20
Christ, our
Savior, we rejoice that your ministry was and is empowered by the Holy Spirit.
And we rejoice that by that Spirit You are able to discern and deliver from
impure spirits that oppress human lives by controlling thoughts, emotions, and
actions, while churning everything into chaos.
Like the
man among the tombs, some of our lives have been engulfed in such chaos. We had
become dangerous and terrifying to ourselves and to others.
But You
have acted without fear in the face of oppressive spirits. You have acted with compassion toward those
whose lives are spinning away from them, those who are divided, dissipated and
tormented. You have brought release. You have transformed. You have brought
order and new creation from our chaos.
Such
healing and release are too much for ordinary words. So, we sing praise. We
shout, “Hallelujah.” And we tell others about your astonishing goodness to us
in words that can never capture the full truth or express our full gratitude.
Amen.
