When inally the clouds break and the sun shines forth in all its warmth and glory, people s moods change. Cabin fever is dispelled by going out and enjoying the bright light and glistening freshness. Although the trees, grass, lower beds still seem dead, one feels they are at a turning point, even if for just one day. Sunlight encourages hope, anticipation, the end of seeming deadness. Today s gospel passage tells of a turning point in Jesus life, a turning point that lasts far longer than one day. From that time on... the kingdom of heaven is at hand. From that time on the ful illment of Isaiah s prophecy that light has arisen to dispel darkness is coming to completion. From that time on Jesus public ministry is set in motion. From that time on disciples are called. From that time on encounters with Jesus lead to changed lives. Then and now. From this time on... invitations to turning points that lead from darkness to light, from mundane tasks to announcing the Good News of salvation, from being dead-earth bound to the kingdom of heaven is at hand. As Jesus begins his public ministry, Jesus calls followers by issuing the command to Come after me. The gospel suggests that following Jesus is our way to walk in the light which reveals the kingdom of heaven at hand. The kingdom of heaven is neither earthly realm nor distant place, but is present in our response to Jesus. It is our willing obedience to hear him call us, to leave everything, to follow him without counting the cost. The kingdom of heaven is at hand when we turn from darkness and not only walk in the Light, but become that light ourselves. The kingdom of heaven is at hand when we are hearers of Jesus call, proclaimers of his Good News, healers of ills, guardians of God s truth, builders of virtue, ishers of people, teachers of mercy and forgiveness, prophets of new life. In all these ways we are light that dispels the grayness and dreariness of lives dead to Jesus Presence, lives shadowed by the darkness of uncertainty, lives limited by the closed-ness of a world devoid of light. We must be able to see the Light who is our Savior before we can be light for others. To see and embrace the Light is already following Jesus. So, one consequence of hearing Jesus call to leave all and follow him is the requirement to turn from darkness so we can see the Light. By changing the behaviors that bring darkness, we are able to focus on the Light that then shines brightly enough for us to follow becoming the light ourselves. Fr. Jace REJOICE AND BE GLAD LIBERATION AND REFORM While you might have to reach for an atlas to determine that Isaiah is speaking about Galilee, today's irst reading (part of which was read at Christmas) is prophetic of Jesus' future ministry in that province. The light that brings salvation and rejoicing is, ultimately, Christ. Liberation is the theme: liberation from both ignorance ("darkness") and sin (the "yoke"). As Isaiah identi ies a place, so Paul describes an attitude: the attitude that develops, even among good people, of equating their own will with the common good. This always brings dissension, and so it has done in Corinth. Paul will not allow this; we are all members of "Christ's party." The gospel is not to divide us. Matthew quotes from Isaiah in today's Gospel, presenting Jesus as the ful illment of Isaiah's prophecies. The theme is "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4:17). To spread this message, Jesus begins to select disciples, four of whom we meet today: Peter, Andrew, James, and John. J. S. Paluch Co.
