Sermon, 2nd Sunday in Lent, 2025
According to the Bible, are demons real? How do they attack us? How can we be defended against them, especially considering that the collect for today states, “we have no power of ourselves to help ourselves,”? Let us take some lessons from the Caananite woman in today’s gospel from St. Matthew 15, who fell on her knees and worshiped the Son of David. Let us too cry, “Lord, have mercy on me.” We are not outsiders. We are children of God. Therefore, let our lives be grounded in the family of God.
