Nevertheless, they remind each other, Is this not Joseph s son? Surely the people know who he is. The carpenter s son. The young man who had learned in this very synagogue. The boy down the street. Conflict arises as Jesus begins to define himself in a new way. When he compares himself to the ancient prophets Elijah and Elisha the tensions grow. The tensions multiply when Jesus begins to tell of a new mission for God s people: the good news of the scriptures is intended for all. In his famous passage from the First Letter to the Corinthians, St. Paul reminds us of the eternal nature of love. Love does not come to an end. In today s readings, we are reminded that, like love, Jesus mission cannot be contained. Jesus slips through the crowd of persecutors and moves on to new challenges. We are called to this same perseverance in the name of love. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. World Day for Consecrated Life - Feb. 3, 2019 We recognize & give thanks for those who have consecrated their lives to God & the Church through vows of poverty, chastity & obedience. Some join a religious congregation as sisters, brothers or religious priests. Some join a secular institute. Others remain single & make profession to God through the local bishop & are known as consecrated virgins. May the light of Christ shine brightly through men & women who choose the consecrated life to live out their baptismal commitment, especially those who serve in the Diocese of Brooklyn now or who have been part of our history.
