JANUARY 27, 2019 2 SAINT BERNARD Introduction to the Liturgy of the Word Third Sunday In Ordinary Time Jesus preached his way through Galilee. Powered with the grace of the Holy Spirit, Jesus made the rounds of the area’s synagogues. When he taught in these holy places, he was widely praised. News about him began to spread throughout the region. Imagine what it meant for Jesus to be “in the power of the Holy Spirit.” When Jesus returned to his home town of Nazareth, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath. Taking the scroll, Jesus read from the prophet Isaiah. The portion of the Scripture text he proclaimed that day was a challenge to those in the congregation. These very words had been written to foretell of Jesus Christ’s coming. Contained in this small portion of text are words that serve as a commission for us as well. We are called to do the following: *Bring God’s Word to the Poor, *Proclaim liberty to people who are enslaved in any way, even by addictions or behaviors, *Bring sight to those who cannot see for themselves, including the spiritually blind, *Help those who are oppressed in any way to find freedom and liberty, *Proclaim God’s love. Jesus told those listening that the answer to their prayers was sitting right before them. The Messiah they had awaited was in their midst. Those in the synagogue that day simply sat in silence looking at him with disbelief. Jesus was moved by the Spirit and went to the holy place in his community to serve.
