Friends of the Rosary,

We see in today's Gospel (Luke 11:14–23) Christ the Lord driving out a demon from a possessed person. Rather than praising the Lord, cynical crowds concluded that Jesus was "driving out demons by the prince of demons."

Jesus’s response was laconic: "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?"

Jesus is the voice of communio, the one who brings us back together, while the demonic power scatters. The Evil One and his minions accuse and divide.

In the same passage, the Lord said,

"Whoever is not with me is against me,
and whoever does not gather with me scatters."

Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
