The Spirit and the Satan
Thursday, 6th week in Ordinary time
Gen 9:1-13; Mk 8:27-33
The Spirit of the Lord is upon us... for the Lord has created us in God's own image. We bear the name of God. The first reading today reiterates the fact in many ways - saying God created everything for the human beings, God gave human beings an ascendancy over the rest of the creatures and explicitly stating once again God created human beings on God's image! Peter is seen to be filled with that Spirit of God when he rightly points out who Jesus was- The Son of God. Yes we possess the Spirit of the Lord within us.
A fact we need to beware is that the Satan is all the time lurching around the corner waiting for a time to pounce on us and draw us as far away as it could. Right from the first moment of the creation this enmity is on, isn't it? But it all depends where I belong. The Spirit or the Satan - whose side am I on?
