This has given rise to speculation that these demons who possess -neir are. in reality. fallen angels who. before their fa knew what it was to he in the presence of the Son of God.

As Christ's purpose is to drive the demons from He begins by asking his name. hop- ing to bring him to temporary consciousness of his separate, normal nature. The demons within are powerful and they supply the answer. “Legion."

Acknowledging their helpless- ness before Christ. the demons petition Him not to return them to an abyss of further torment, but to let them enter a herd of swine that happened to be gray, ing nearby. Jesus permits this. accomplishing a two- fold pur-

Now comes the most unexpect- ed turn of events in this whole sequence (vv.34-37). One would think that the whole community would have rejoiced to see that the formerly wretched man was once more in his right mind. fully clothed and able to live a normal life. Instead. their atten- tion is so riveted on the herd swine they have lost that. partly out of fear. they beseech Christ to leave them. hat folly th an entire community should val- ue its illegal possessions so high- ly

Jesus enters the boat to leave but returns briefly for a final in-

terview with the man. He has delivered from the demons. This man's transformation is so gen- uine and complete that he wants only to be with Christ. Knowing that the region is so far off the beaten path of His travels, Christ sends the man back to his pen- ple. charging him to tell all with whom he comes into contact of the great miracle He has accom- plished. The man complies. giv- ing tangible evidence that Christ is the Conqueror of all evil ~ spirits. not only to his immediate l family, but to the whole sur-i

The c h u r c h always shows great concern for the family and this is natur . ,

The Christian concept of fam- ily is marvelous in its beauty. God Himself lives a family life. Divine Life is common to three persons.

LOVE

In God we have the Father

from whom all paternity derives. In

there is no mother because God has no need of a help like unto Himself in order to infuse the wave of Divine Life in the Son of His intelligent.

But in the Holy Trinity there is love which is the expression of family life and this love is the Holy Spirit. proceeding from the Father and the Son and un- iting them in the Feast of Divine

God. infinitely perfect. decreed to externalize His Life and His Perieciions. Through His direct intervention the first human ia- mily was born in Eden— a holy family with the power of trans- mitting human llfe— and the di- vine life of grace.

But sin destroyed the foun- tains of grace in the family of Adam and Eve and they became the progenitors of a fallen hu- manity Men have multiplied and lot- med new families. but ese have become the source of hurri- an life tainted by sin.

to live in isolation. but to devel- op in the company of other men. So God decreed to redeem the family by found‘ng ii anew on the sacred family of Nazareth.

Wishing to redeem the whole world He established the family as the basis of society. For 30 years Jesus lived a family life in order to give to the whole world the model new family characterized by unity. indissoi- ubility and holiness.

OCK

As has been pointed out. her- mony in the family results if married life is based on the rock of love. embracing and inform- ing the whole existence of the lovers.

Such a love. in fact. will pre- serve conjiigal fidelity and will give strength to both parties to face the problems of life.

As the great family of m a ll- kind is composed of many sep- arate fzimilies so also the church is made up of many C'.1rist‘1an families from whom spring both natural and supernatural life.

For our destiny is to pass over from a family life on earth to another kind of family life. ___?_:._.._.—_—————
