“The Gadarene swine.”

Matthew 8:28-34

This week, we are reminded that love conquers all things. It opens the door to forgiveness, brings peace and reconciliation. When we are connected with Jesus, we can receive God’s love and trust in his power and allow him to heal and free us from those things that hold us captive.

Through prayer, each of us is granted the strength to overcome negative influences within us such as laziness and selfishness. It can be challenging to identify these weaknesses and work on them, but addressing them is an act of self-love and will lead us to freedom. We may ask ourselves: What holds us back from loving? Do we believe in Jesus’ power to transform us?
