* Friends, in today’s Gospel, we learn of a person possessed by a demon.
Jesus meets the man and drives out the demon, but then is immediately
accused of being in league with Satan. Some of the witnesses said, “By the
power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he drives out demons.” Jesus’
response is wonderful in its logic and laconicism: “Every kingdom divided
against itself will be laid waste and house will fall against house. And if
Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand?” The demonic
power is always one of scattering. It breaks up communion. But Jesus, as
always, is the voice of communio, of one bringing things back together.
Think back to Jesus’ feeding of the five thousand. Facing a large, hungry
crowd, his disciples beg him to “dismiss the crowds so that they can go to
the villages and buy food for themselves.” But Jesus answers, “There is no
need for them to go away; give them some food yourselves.” Whatever drives
the Church apart is an echo of this “dismiss the crowds” impulse and a
reminder of the demonic tendency to divide. In times of trial and threat,
this is a very common instinct. We blame, attack, break up, and disperse.
But Jesus is right: “There is no need for them to go away. *
*Dicsőség az Atyának, a Fiúnak és a Szentléleknek most és mindörökké. Ámen.*
