Readings: Judges 13:1-7, 17-25; 16:4-31; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5; Matthew 12:29
In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Samson the strong man. An odd and strange story. A story of a fool in love? Yes. A story of an oaf who followed the desires of his flesh which led to his downfall? Yes. The story of Christ saving His Church? Yes. All these contradictions exist in one man’s story for Our Lord promises to work good out of everything, even our own sin. (Rom. 8:28) For by His cross He has taken death itself and bent it to His will, by His death defeating death, by His death atoning for your sin, and by His death opening the way to life eternal in your death.
