ABM Reflection
Luke 8.26-39
Today we read a story about a dramatic transformation in the
Gospel reading. Jesus heals a man with some kind of mental
issue (perhaps psychosis, perhaps dementia – who knows?) in
a town called Gerasa. Jesus has power over forces we do not
understand and heals the man. Not only does he then ‘sit at
the feet of Jesus’ like a disciple, but Jesus sends him to
proclaim the Good News as a missionary to his Gentile
neighbours. Those neighbours were ‘seized with great fear’
but Jesus only wanted the best for them, just as he had for the
former demoniac.
- Lord, help me to remember all those suffering from
sickness of the mind and all those who look after
them in their distress. - Give thanks for the work and witness of the Hong
Kong Sheng Kung Hui, the Anglican Church in Hong
Kong.

St Barnabas’ Parish Prayer
Lord,
May the people of this Parish be never ceasing in prayer, so that we may all be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.
Help us to lead lives worthy of God, fully pleasing to him while bearing fruit in every good work.
May we all be made strong in the power of God, who rescues us from the powers of darkness and transfers us to the Kingdom of his Son in whom we have forgiveness of sins,
Amen
