My beloved, you heard the sacred and
holy gospel. A small book the Gospel, but it is the most beautiful, most
powerful, most superb, incomparable book of the world. Happy, then, is
the one who not only reads it, but also tries to enforce it to a “T”;
“blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it” (Luke 11:28).
The gospel today narrates one of the
many miracles which our Lord Jesus Christ performed. This miracle is of
interest to all, but particularly to young people. For, there were two
youngsters that Christ cured here.

Where did they live? In the city of the
Gadarenes, at the Western shore of the lake of Gennesaret. They were
peaceful people, the joy of the city. But suddenly what happened to
them? Did they fall ill? Would that they had fallen ill. For, there is
something worse than even the most fearful illness, even cancer, too. A
crisis took hold of them with fearful symptoms and seen for the first
time. They began to tremble like the leaves. Their face grew wild, there
eyes emitted flames, their mouth foamed.
