Today the Church that was founded by Jesus to maintain awareness of the loving presence of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT throughout the created Universe celebrates the mission it received from the Resurrection using the words of Isaiah that proclaim the year of Old Testament "Jubilee".
St Gregory the Great did not seek to free the "Angelish" slaves from Britain but sent Augustine to evangelize those "Angels".
When he began his personal mission as recorded by Luke, Jesus used the same words, the Jubilee proclamation, "I am sent to give the good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives", to announce himself and his mission in the Synagogue at Nazareth, they were received by a fervour of hatred which would not subside even when he was a corpse hanging from the cross.
At this moment I am overcome by the richness of meanings that can be generated out of today's texts and pray that I do not get tangled up in all the economic, political and spiritual significances that can be generated out of the historical events and words of these Mass Readings.
I am one man and responsible for my own soul. I am quite happy with this my place and being for I know that there is nothing better that anyone can do with the gift of life than to be open to the significance of the Scriptures and strive to live in accordance with God's revelation of himself.
The primary mission that each of has in this finite world is to live according to the will of the Father by following the way, truth and life that is Son in order to be welcomed into the Glory of Eternity, that is Holy Spirit.
There is nothing greater than this to be known on Earth and it is by this Faith that we all can be saved.
Thanks be to God. Maranatha Lord!
