Hosea 8:4-7, 11-13; Ps 115; Matthew 9:32-38

God will protect and save us

Our Lord’s ministry as a healer was demonstrated on many levels: physical, for example, by curing leprosy, restoring sight and even destroying death; spiritual, by driving out evil spirits. He shows he understands the burden evil places on us (he even had his own dreadful fights with Satan) and he teaches us how faith in God’s saving power can free us from sin and the forces of evil and darkness.

May we trust you, Lord, our help and our shield.
