In today's first reading we listen to Job, that upright man whose world fell apart around him, 

early in his discussion  with his friends as to why this has happened to him. He is at a low point, 

seeing no hope. His images are strong and we all can relate to feelings near despair at some time.  

Sitting by itself this section of Job offers no comfort. And so we need to place it beside today’s gospel. 

Here, people in dire need and feeling like Job, are being healed by Jesus… hope is being restored. 

But listen closely to this narrative for it tells us even more. This hope that we seek… it doesn’t come 

too easily! Jesus does  two things. He gets close to the people in need. It is personal with Jesus! He also 

understands that to re-gain this hope means overcoming evil, so he casts out demons. 

That is what his life is about… preaching God’s hope in word and releasing it in action. 

Jesus understands that this cosmic chaos affects us most personally. So, he invites us 

into personal relationship with him. As we accept, hope casts out despair… that is how 

he heals the brokenhearted!
