Righteous authority

Tuesday of week 1 in Ordinary Time

Mark 1:21-28

Hannah's case of barreness and the gospel account of the man possessed by the unclean spirit depict a situation of sinfulness; this is also our situation on earth.

But Hannah was able to concieve; the man was freed from the evil spirit only through the power of God and of his Son Jesus Christ.  We only need to rely on the authority of Jesus to heal us make our lives straight.

Like Hannah, we need a trusting faith that God will manifest his authority.  Let's humbly implore the Master to live out this total, unquestionable faith.

And for the people in Jesus' time, in the world of skepticism, Jesus was not purturbed.  He did what he had to do - cure people.  This is authority that comes from God, that complete intention to do His will.  God takes over and heals us.
