Evil often is loud and in your face. It wants to look big and permanent. Evil will try to subdue your psyche. There are many pockets in the world with intractable problems: poverty, crime, abuse. These and other problems cloud our vision and make us forget what we heard in the Gospel today, that Jesus drives away the loud demons, Jesus has authority over evil. Evil can obscure the good right in front of us. However, if we stick with it, we will be reminded. We will be fed. God will open our eyes, sometimes in the most unexpected places through the most unexpected people.
