Dear Friend in the Lord,
Division Destroys: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaims that if we are divided in our intention in relationships and mission in life, we will not have the collective strength that the unity in a community can give. Let us pray for the graces and strength to live God’s Will, as we deepen our unity and love for Him.
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 11:15-20
When Jesus had cast out a devil, some of the people said, ‘It is through Beelzebul, the prince of devils, that he drives devils out.’ Others asked him, as a test, for a sign from heaven; but, knowing what they were thinking, he said to them,
‘Any kingdom which is divided against itself is heading for ruin, and house collapses against house. So, too, with Satan: if he is divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? – since you claim that it is through Beelzebul that I drive devils out. Now if it is through Beelzebul that I drive devils out, through whom do your own sons drive them out? They shall be your judges, then. But if it is through the finger of God that I drive devils out, then the kingdom of God has indeed caught you unawares.’
