Thursday of the 3rd week of Lent
Saints Perpetua and Felicity
Gospel – Luke 11:14-23
“But if it is through the finger of God that I cast out devils, then know that the kingdom of God has overtaken you”. This is very powerful message of Jesus. The Kingdom of God has overtaken us. What a hope filled message. The finger of God is going to cast out devils from our life because our life is overtaken by the Kingdom of God. There is nothing more powerful than the Kingdom of God and the grace of that power is protecting us. That is why Jesus say, “So long as a strong man fully armed guards his own palace, his goods are undisturbed”. There is nothing stronger than the finger of God. And so nothing can attack us. This message of hope must echo in our ears always when we hear about the all the negatives news around us, in the world. Because the truth is that Kingdom of God has overtaken the world through Jesus. The only thing we must do is to be with Jesus. If we are with Jesus, we will stay united. Otherwise, we will be scattered and withered. Let’s reflect: Lent is to hope in the power of the Kingdom of God which has overtaken my life.
