Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

New Year's resolutions and the time before lent begins ought to be a time of preparation for change. We seek change because as beings in motion, God willing we are moving towards virtue and away from vice. To achieve our goals though, requires courage and an understanding of resistance. 

In today's Gospel Jesus' authority to remove the demon from a man takes center stage. Though this miracle happened over two thousand years ago, it is the same path we ought to take as well toward uncommon freedom: trust in the authority and power of Jesus Christ!
