Description
An Authoritative Teaching That is New: No longer alone, Jesus teaches in the Synagogue in Capernaum. All wonder at the newness and authority of his teaching. Then he teaches in a different way. He overcomes the presence of evil in the demon possessed man, reducing the demon to silence, even though the demon knows that Jesus is "the Christ of God." The people recognise that this is also a "new teaching." Jesus shows that he is bringing in the Kingdom of God by overcoming the power of evil my his more powerful divine presence, in word and in deed. Presented by world-renowned biblical scholar Rev. Professor Francis J. Moloney SDB AM, Audio Divina, is a Lectio-Divina styled reflection on the gospel for The 4th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year B. Gospel Reading: Mark 1:21-28 This week’s readers are Rose and James Narrated and Produced by Michael Gartland For more information visit: www.salesians.org.au/info/audiodivina
