13th Week, Ordinary Time, Wednesday, 30-06-2021

Genesis 21:5, 8-20 / Matthew 8:28-34          

It shouldn't come as a surprise to say that in life we will meet some unpleasant persons.

Unpleasant may not be the only adjective to describe these persons.

Some can be unkind, selfish, greedy, or even malicious and vicious.

We certainly won't want to go near them or have anything to do with them.

In the gospel, when Jesus reached the country of Gadarenes, two demoniacs came towards Him and were shouting at Him.

Jesus could have turned and walked away. But He came to look for and to save those who were lost.

We may not have demoniacs coming our way but we will certainly come across despicable people.

It would be easy to walk away and don't bother about them. 

But the least we could do is to pray for them. 

And if Jesus wants to send us to them, may we ask Jesus to make our hearts like His so that we will be able to show them the love of Jesus.
