ST GREGORY THE GREAT

1 Thessalonians5: 1-6, 9-11, Psalm 27,
Luke 4: 31-37

Dealing with evil

There are no greater portrayals of the struggle between good and evil than the reports of Jesus casting out unclean spirits. If Jesus had to struggle against evil, it is certain that His followers will also be asked to confront this reality. In our modern age, evil has been sanitised and rationalised - homosexual marriage, abortion and prostitution have all been legalised in N.Z. When we are in a situation where we must state our view, we can be certain that the Holy Spirit will strengthen us and guide our words and actions.
