DAY FOURTEEN – Thursday, March 9, 2023
Mark 5:1-20
Jesus demonstrated the importance of helping someone – he removed the Legions (demons) and cast them away. (Well, into the swine who then fled into the water – the demons were gone, however it left the shepherds feeling angry and afraid – a sign of the times.) Jesus demonstrated that the man was not alone and that, using his powers, he was able to ease this man’s suffering.
What does this passage mean in 2023?
Mental Health Disease. We all have a duty to help one another. We can be of service when someone is distressed. This can be demonstrated by walking side-by-side with someone who is struggling, recognizing that they need support, listening when no one else can or does. Accessing help to lessen suffering. Showing compassion. We can do this.
