“Mute and deaf spirit, I command you:
come out of him and never enter him again!”
Shouting and throwing the boy into convulsions, it came out.
He became like a corpse, which caused many to say, “He is dead!” But Jesus took him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up. When he entered the house, his disciples asked him in private, “Why could we not drive the spirit out?”
He said to them, “This kind can only come out through prayer.”

This was the message of yesterdays’ gospel, and I need to ask that you good people pray for the incarcerated men that I work with, in particular, Kevin, who is struggling with the terrible events in his past that have left him with a warped understanding of right and wrong, and with criminal/sinful addictions. I need the help of Jesus, and your prayers will help me to reach for the Lord’s mercy to help Kevin and the others. I need prayers, too as this is sometimes a lonely and difficult road for me to be on, and being human, like the disciples in the gospel, I have limited resources to fight against Satan.

Thank you for adding your voices with mine towards heaven.
 
iserve:

I will gladly pray for you (strength) and for your friends at work. Please keep yourself safe. I’m praying very hard: Our Father… Hail Mary…Glory Be

Take care,
 
May God bring His light and life into these men.
God bless you for your work and example with them.

Instrument
Dear God, You chose me in my human reality to be instrument of Your grace to others, each Your beloved. No less human and fallible than those whom I serve, I seek Your grace in both my weaknesses and my strengths, to be a genuine witness of Christ to others. May I thereby stand with Jesus who by His honest expression of rightly directed human intelligence, emotion, and personality, witnessed the sanctity of our nature when it is creatively compliant to Your love.

Allow me to reveal the reflection of Christ within each person whom I meet and serve, amid his recognition of his human frailties and strengths. Let this grace encourage his trust in Your lifelong moulding of him in the events of his life. Thus may I be instrument to lead others to holiness of human wholeness in Christ’s love.

Jesus, we ask you to drive
the evil spirits out of Kevin and the others.
Release them from the demons that are
holding them back.
Grant them peace from within so
that they may serve you and
do your will.
AMEN
