Rejoice, Church!
This is "Gaudete" Sunday. We rejoice this week for the coming of Our Lord in history and the coming of Our Lord's Kingdom is at hand.
Isaiah's words, at the beginning of today's First Reading, invites us all to remember who we are and to whom we belong. I have included my homily for this Sunday for your reflection. At the invitation of a close friend, I will attempt to post my Sunday homilies in audio format for those who would like to listen to them.
This Sunday's homily can be found here.
The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me
because the LORD has anointed me;
he has sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor,
to heal the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives
and release to the prisoners,
to announce a year of favor from the LORD
and a day of vindication by our God.
I rejoice heartily in the LORD,
in my God is the joy of my soul;
for he has clothed me with a robe of salvation
and wrapped me in a mantle of justice,
like a bridegroom adorned with a diadem,
like a bride bedecked with her jewels.
As the earth brings forth its plants,
and a garden makes its growth spring up,
so will the Lord GOD make justice and praise
spring up before all the nations. (Is 6 1.1-2a, 10-11)
