The   Lord   keeps   His   covenant   ever  in  mind.

This Gospel begins with Jesus once again “driving out a demon.”  Some of the individuals who witnessed Jesus’ power to drive out demons were critical and suspicious of Him.  They accused Jesus of driving out demons by the power of Beelzebub.  There also were other unbelievers in the crowd who wanted to test Jesus.  So they asked Him to give them a sign from heaven.  However, Jesus knew their thoughts and their motivation.  He realized that they were testing Him. 

 Most likely Jesus’ reply was not the answer they expected or hoped for. 

Jesus tells them: “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste.  And house will fall upon house.”  Then he asks: “If Satan is divided against himself, will his kingdom stand?” 

Jesus continued, saying: “Some of your members also drive out demons!  From whom do they get their power?” 

Jesus’ questioners did not answer him.

Let us ask ourselves : what are our demons?  We all have them.  No one is exempt.   We may read stories or see TV programmes about individuals who were driven by demons.  Perhaps they broke into a house and stole several items.  Or perhaps it is the story of a child, woman or man being abused.  Or the headline of the evening news may be on the never-ending fighting in the Middle East. 

 Our human reality is: we all have our own personal demons.  No human being is exempt from demons, not even the saints.  However, the saints testify to us that with God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit in our lives, with the grace they give us , we can control our demons.  And hopefully over time with God’s grace, we may be able to “dis-empower” our demons.  Most likely they will not completely disappear from our lives.  However, we will be better able to recognize them and control them, rather than our demons controlling us.

And with our more powerful demons, only the grace of God or Jesus’ grace will do.  Today be attentive to your demons.  Take your demons to Jesus!  He will drive them out!

It  is  with great sadness that we announce the passing  of

Mgr John Maguire who acted as Administrator in

St Patricks in 2009. 

May he rest in the

eternal peace of the Lord.

Please remember him in your prayers.

The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. According to an account by fifteenth-century Dominican, Alan de la Roch, Mary appeared to St. Dominic in 1206 after he had been praying and doing severe penances because of his lack of success in combating the heretics. Mary praised him for his valiant fight  and then gave him the Rosary as a mighty weapon, explained its uses and efficacy, and told him to preach it to others.
