THE FIRST READING: READER:

A Reading from the Word of God written in the Book of Genesis Chapter 3 beginning at the 8th verse

And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?" And he said, "I heard the sound of thee in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself." He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?" The man said, "The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate." Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this that you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent beguiled me, and I ate." The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild animals; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head,
 and you shall bruise his heel." To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule

!3

over you." And to Adam he said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, `You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; you are dust, and to dust you shall return.� The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins, and clothed them.

Thanks be to God.

PSALM 130 1. Out of the depths have I called you, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice;* let your ears consider well the voice of my supplication.

2. If you, Lord, were to note what is done amiss, * O Lord, who could stand?

3. For there is forgiveness with you;* therefore you shall be feared.

4. I wait for the lord; my soul waits for him;* in his word is my hope.

5. My soul waits for the Lord, more than watchmen for the morning, * more than watchmen for the morning.

6. O Israel, wait for the Lord, * for with the Lord there is mercy; 7. With him there is plenteous redemption,*and he shall redeem Israel from all their sins.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son;*and to the Holy Spirit; As it was in the beginning is now:*and shall be forever.

Amen

THE EPISTLE A Reading from the Word of God written in the Second Letter to the Corinthians Chapter 4 beginning at the 13th verse Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, "I believed, and so I spoke," we too believe, and so we speak, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed every day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

Reader: ALL:

Here ends the Reading.

Thanks be to God.

THE HOLY GOSPEL The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark Glory to Christ our Saviour.

At that time the crowd came together again, so that Jesus and his disciples could not even eat. And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for people were saying, "He is beside himself." And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Be-el'zebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons." And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may plunder his house. "Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has

!5

forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin" -- for they had said, "He has an unclean spirit." And his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside they sent to him and called him. And a crowd was sitting about him; and they said to him, "Your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you." And he replied, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" And looking around on those who sat about him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God is my brother, and sister, and mother."

The Gospel of Christ.

Praise to Christ our Lord.

From the Rector’s Notebook Greetings: And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Be-el'zebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons."

Mark 3: 22 The Gospel reading for today from St. Mark’s gospel provides an excellent biblical and theological basis for examining the notion of demons and demonic possession.

The world even in the twenty-first century carries a fascination for this topic, despite our technological and scientific advances.

We are still likely to associate human behavior with demonic possession with a fervor stirred up by what we watch in the various thrillers at the movies, online or via the outgoing cable.

What we must realize is that indeed the bible contains all things necessary for eternal salvation while remaining an ancient text.

!6

Like any ancient text it will require exegetical analysis and interpretation since it comes from an age in which persons were not exposed to the kind of thinking of our era, arguably.

We cannot simply take a leap from a first century document to a twenty-first century lifestyle without the tools of study and contemplation.

Ancient peoples would have sought to explain certain behaviours or illness for which there were no known cures to demonic possession.

James A. Schmeiser reminds us that possessions in biblical narratives could have different causes, ranging from psychological or mental illness to organic brain disorders and similar illnesses.

While christian theology acknowledges the existence of evil as personified by the devil which means slanderer, accuser, perjurer or Satan meaning adversary or evil one, it can be argued as Schmeiser suggests that demonic possession was used as a literary form to express what would be considered strange behaviours or illnesses.

While we are aware of the influence of evil we know that in the power of the resurrection we have the ability to deal with illness and divisiveness with the eternal hope that the Holy Spirit will lead and guide us always.

We must be cautious with the fascination with evil and rather concentrate on the gracious goodness of God, who in his love and mercy gives us grace in Christ Jesus to proclaim his word and celebrate the sacraments.

Your friend and priest, Noel A. Burke, MA (The Rev’d Canon) Rector
