THIRD SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME TREA NEDJELJA KROZ GODINU POMAZANI DUHOM From Fr. Antonio's desk Pred nama se danas nalazi dinamina evan- eoska scena koja opisuje Isusov prvi javni nastup u njegovome gradu Nazaretu. Uvijek je teško doi meu svoje. Pred onim drugima je lako pretvarati se i da sam bolji od onoga što jesam, ali meu onima koji me dobro poznaju nemogue je biti lažan. Isus se tako danas nalazi pred velikim izazovom, jer iako je ono božansko u njemu svemono ono ljudsko je ipak trajno prisutno u oima onih koji su ga susretali. Za ovu okupljenu zajednicu vjernika toga dana u sinagogi Isus je bio, sin Josipov i Marijin, a ne Sin Božji. Unato tome, Isus, jer je vrsto usidren u ono što on sam jest, ne dopušta da ga ogranii njihovo razumijevanje njega samoga, nego se vjerno predstavi kao onaj na kojemu je Duh Gospodnji. Isusov nas primjer ui kako svaki onaj koji želi vršiti volju Božju od Boga dobiva i potrebnu snagu za ono za što je predodreen. Mi se pak tako esto nepotrebno umaramo pokušavajui staviti sve u sebi i oko sebe u željeni red, bez da shvatimo kako nema reda, mira ni blagoslova ondje gdje se Božja volja ne vrši. Nije Isusu bilo lako nastupiti ovako odluno u njegovoj vlastitoj zajednici, meu ljudima s kojima je živio i odrastao, ali on je jako dobro znao da je cilja dostojan samo onaj koji na put krene pomazan Duhom Gospodnjim.
