In this profound passage from Luke’s Gospel, my beloved flock, we witness a pivotal moment that launched our Lord’s public ministry.
With his characteristic attention to detail, Luke sets the stage by explaining his careful investigation of these sacred events.
Then we see Jesus, filled with the Spirit’s power, return to Galilee and enter the synagogue in Nazareth.
There, He proclaims the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy – announcing His mission to bring good news to the poor, liberty to captives, sight to the blind, and freedom to the oppressed.
This declaration marks the beginning of Christ’s transformative ministry that continues through us today.
I invite you to join me as we explore how we can embrace and live out this divine mission in our lives and community.
