Possessed by Evil but Freed by Jesus Christ

A homily for the 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A) by Father Darrin Connall: The gospel today presents us with a woman who pleads with Jesus. Her daughter is tormented by a demon and she begs our Lord to crush the evil in her life. The toxin for the evil which we encounter in our lives today comes from encountering the healing ministry of Christ. This encounter comes most powerfully through the Sacraments.
