Pathways of Hope: "A Kingdom United in God's Power"

THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 2025Thursday of the Third Week of Lent Memorial of Saint Rupert, BishopGOSPEL OF THE DAY: LUKE 11: 14 - 23Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute, and when the demon had gone out, the man who was mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed. But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons.” Others, to test him, demanded a sign from heaven.However, he knew what they were thinking, and he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a house divided against itself will collapse. If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand?“For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul. Now, if it is by Beelzebul that I cast out demons, by whom do your own children cast them out? Therefore, they will be your judges. But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come to you.“When a strong man is fully armed and guards his palace, his possessions are safe. But when someone who is stronger than he is attacks and overpowers him, he carries off all the weapons upon which the owner relied and distributes the plunder.“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.Reflection by Jake Tan: Former Missionary Youth Worker, Worship Ministry Head-Lingkod ng Panginoon Central.
