LIBERATION AND REFORM While you might have to reach for an atlas to determine that Isaiah is speaking about Galilee, today s first 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 identifies 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 fulfillment 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. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. LIBERACIÓN Y REFORMA Aunque quizá tengas que usar un atlas para determinar que Isaías está hablando de Galilea, la primera lectura de hoy (parte de la cual se leyó en Navidad) profetiza el futuro ministerio de Jesús en esa provincia. La luz que trae la salvación y regocijo es, fundamentalmente, Cristo. El tema es la liberación: liberación de la ignorancia ( tinieblas ) y también del pecado (el yugo ). Mientras Isaías identifica un lugar, así Pablo describe una actitud: la actitud que crece, incluso entre gente buena, de equiparar su propia voluntad con el bien común. Esto siempre origina desacuerdo, y así ha ocurrido en Corinto. Pablo no permitirá esto; todos somos miembros del partido de Cristo. El Evangelio no es para dividirnos. Mateo cita a Isaías en el Evangelio de hoy, y presenta a Jesús como el cumplimiento de las profecías de Isaías. El tema es Conviértanse, porque ya está cerca el Reino de los Cielos (Mateo 4:17). Para difundir este mensaje, Jesús comienza a elegir discípulos, y hoy conocemos a cuatro de ellos: Pedro, Andrés, Santiago y Juan. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
