bequeathed to the other coast, the region Gerasenes. Just
Jesus landed, he was met from the cemetery a man with an unclean spirit.
The lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him, not even with chains. he had often been bound with fetters and chains, but he had broken the chains and shackles broken, and no one could master. Day and night, wandering among the graves and the mountain, screaming and cutting himself with stones
.
Seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran and knelt before him,
shouting loudly: "What you want from me, Jesus, Son of God, the Almighty?" I adjure you by God, do not torment me! ".
For Jesus had said: "out of the man, unclean spirit!". Then he asked: "What is your name?". He replied: "My name is Legion, for we are many."
and insistently begged him not out of the area.
There was a large herd of pigs was feeding on the mountain.
unclean spirits begged Jesus, "Send us into the swine, let us enter them."
He allowed it. Then the unclean spirits came out of that man into the pigs, and from the top of the cliff, the entire herd, about two thousand animals, crashed into the sea and drowned.

Charity No one has greater love
We are called to love the world. And God so loved the world that he gave to Jesus (Jn 3.16). Today, loves the world that gives us the world, you and me to be His love, compassion, your presence through a life of prayer, sacrifice, abandonment. The answer that God expects from you is that you become contemplative, you're contemplative.
Cojámosle the word of Jesus and we are contemplatives in the heart of the world, because if we have faith, we are forever in his presence. The soul through contemplation, draws directly from the heart of God through the active life is tasked to distribute. Our lives must be united to Christ within us. If you do not live in the presence of God, we can persevere. What is contemplation? Living the life of Jesus. This is how I understand it. Loving Jesus, to live his life within ours, ours to live within your own ... Contemplation is not locked in a dark cabin, but leave it to Jesus who live His passion, his love, his humility in us, pray with us, be with us, and sanctify them through us. Our life and our contemplation are the same thing. This is not making it to be. In fact it is the full joy of our spirit by the Holy Spirit breathed into us the fullness of God and sends us to all creation as his personal message of love (Mark 16:15).
