Sunday Reflection

Today we begin in earnest this liturgical year’s journey through the Gospel of Saint Luke. It is Saint Luke’s Gospel that will predominate in our Gospel readings during Ordinary Time for Year C. In the Gospel, Jesus stands in the synagogue and reads from the scroll containing the words of the prophet Isaiah. This reading defines Jesus’ ministry which will involve bringing good news to the poor, release to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, letting the oppressed go free, and proclaiming the year of the Lord’s favour. Jesus set the framework for all of us in announcing his ministry in today’s Gospel, and we are charged with the task of continuing the mission that Jesus began, thus building up the Kingdom of God in our daily lives.
