Monday of the 22nd week, Year c. Luke 4:16-30
Happy Labor Day!
The spirit of the Lord is upon me is the prophetic message of Jesus to each of us today. This gift is for the mission of Christ. During our baptism, we share in the three functions of Christ, priest, prophet, and king. We are called like Christ to proclaim the Good News to the poor, to bring peace, forgiveness, compassion, and love. Acknowledging the presence of the Holy Spirit within us is a gift to receive and a responsibility to carry out in our today's world. Like Jesus, we are invited to move beyond our comfort and self-preservation and become bearers of the Good News, which sets captives free. The Holy Spirit has been given to us to continue the mission of Christ and his Church in our ordinary lives. May the spirit of the Lord rest upon us always!
Jesus, I trust in you
