MONDAY 4TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR II
Hebrews 11:32-40
Mark 5:1-20
THE HUMAN PERSON IS VERY PRECIOUS
Most times when I see mad people in the streets, I feel so much pity for them. One can only imagine the pitiable conditions they live in. This is the kind of feeling that comes to my mind as I go through the gospel reading of today. A man is possessed by a demon that makes him injure himself. He became so violent that people were afraid of him.
What is very appealing in the narrative is the fact that about two thousand pigs were sacrificed for the life of a man people saw as useless. It is a great lesson for us all that all humans are very important irrespective of their mental and physical state. Let us seek the liberation of one another. God help us. Amen.
