TODAY’S READINGS First Reading: Nehemiah 8:2-4a, 5-6, 8-10 Ezra gathered the people and read to them from the book of the Law of God. He interpreted the law clearly, so that everyone understood what he had read. He then told them to go and rejoice in the Lord. Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:12-30 Paul explains that a body is composed of many different parts, and that each part has its' own purpose and is important. He compares this to the Church, describing how we are one body composed of many members. All members should show concern for each other and understand that we are all vital to the body as a whole. Gospel: Luke 1:1-4, 4:14-21 Luke discusses his decision to write about the events he and the other disciples had witnessed. He begins by telling of Jesus reading a passage from the book of Isaiah, where the anointed one is portrayed. Jesus finished by telling the people that they had seen that passage fulfilled in their hearing.

HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. William Reilly “Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee and his reputation spread throughout the region... He came to Nazareth where he had been raised and on entering the synagogue on the Sabbath, as he was in the habit of doing, he stood up to do the reading... ‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me... Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.’” It is easy for us to picture the visiting rabbi assuming His teaching role. Surely people wondered what His statement meant as they paid close attention to His words. In our own parish church, as the lector proclaims the word, and the priest or deacon, the gospel, I remind myself that it is God’s word. He is speaking to me, and I too give my full attention to the message. As I sit to hear the word, I listen. As I stand for the gospel, I ask that the word may be in my head, on my lips and in my heart. The word takes root in my heart to direct my life. As Jesus read from the prophet Isaiah, He spoke of Himself, but also of we who have been touched by the Holy Spirit and like Him we are sent.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera Lectura: Nehemías 8:2-4a, 5-6, 8-10 Esdras reunió a la gente y les leyó del libro de la ley de Dios. El interpretó la ley claramente para que todos entendieran lo que había leído. Luego les dijo que fueran y se alegraran en el Señor. Segunda Lectura: 1 Corintios 12:12-30 Pablo explica que el cuerpo está compuesto de muchas partes diferentes, y que cada parte es importante y tiene su propio propósito. El compara ésto a la Iglesia, describiendo cómo somos un solo cuerpo compuesto de muchos miembros. Todos los miembros deben cuidarse unos a otros y entender que cada uno es vital y parte de una entidad. Evangelio: San Lucas 1:1-4, 4:14-21 San Lucas explica su decisión de escribir acerca de los eventos que él y los otros discípulos han presenciado. Empieza por describir a Jesús leyendo un pasaje del libro de Isaías, donde se habla de El. Jesús termina diciendo a la gente que han visto que lo que el pasaje indica ha sido cumplido.

SU PALABRA HOY por el Rev. William Reilly “Jesús volvió a Galilea con el poder el Espíritu y su fama se extendió en toda la región. Enseñaba en las sinagogas y todos lo alababan. Jesús fue a Nazaret, donde se había criado; el sábado entró como de costumbre en la sinagoga y se levantó para hacer la lectura… ‘El Espíritu del Señor está sobre mí… Hoy se ha cumplido este pasaje de la Escritura que acaban de oír.’” Es fácil imaginarnos al rabino que visitaba asumir su papel de maestro. Seguramente la gente se preguntaba qué significaba Su afirmación al poner atención a Sus palabras. En nuestra parroquia, mientras el lector proclama la palabra y el sacerdote o diácono el evangelio, me recuerdo a mí mismo que esta es la palabra de Dios. El me habla a mí, y yo le pongo toda mi atención al mensaje. Al sentarme a oir la palabra, la escucho. Mientras me pongo de pie para el evangelio, pido que la palabra esté en mi cabeza, en mis labios y en mi corazón. La palabra toma raíz en mi corazón para dirigir mi vida. Cuando Jesús leyó del profeta Isaías, El habló de sí mismo, pero también de nosotros quienes hemos sido tocados por el Espíritu Santo y como El, somos enviados.
