In this homily, Fr. Stephen Osburn reflects on the healing of the Gadarene demoniac from Luke 8:26-39. The man freed from a legion of demons stands as a sign of Christ’s victory over the powers of darkness—yet the townspeople, rather than rejoicing, beg Jesus to leave. Why? Because His miracle cost them their comfort. They cared more about their pigs than about the salvation in front of them. Fr. Stephen challenges us to see how often we do the same. We let the noise of the world, our worries, our busyness, and our distractions steal our focus from Christ. But to live in Christ, as St. Paul says, means to be crucified with Him—to let every part of life revolve around Him. Our salvation begins when our mindset becomes Christ-centered, when we stop measuring everything by loss and gain, and start seeing everything through the eyes of faith.
