Father Martin’s Corner In our Gospel, Jesus discloses the mission of His earthly ministry at His hometown of Nazareth. Jesus, as a traditional Jew regularly attending the sabbath service, has been invited to read the lesson at the synagogue service. The text from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah, Chapter 61 outlines His mission: to proclaim glad tidings to the poor, liberty to captives, recovery of sight to the blind, and let the oppressed go free. At the same time, He proclaims a jubilee year acceptable to the Lord. In other words, Jesus is proclaiming Himself to be the Messiah and the messianic age to have begun. In our Second Reading, St. Paul helps us to reflect on the Church. We, the Church, are the Body of Christ. As a body has many members, yet is one body, so also Christ. Indeed, there are different functions, but they are all important for the body. In Baptism, people are united to Christ and to one another by the Holy Spirit. To be healthy, the members of Christ (the Church) must work together. In order to effectively share in the mission of Christ, Church must work together. We as a member of the Church of Christ must patiently and humbly work together in the realization of love, forgiveness and

mercy.

En el Evangelio, Jesu s revela la misio n de su ministerio terrenal en Nazaret, su ciudad natal. Jesu s, como todo judí o tradicional, asiste regularmente al servicio del sa bado, el ha sido invitado a leer la lectura del servicio en la sinagoga. El texto del libro del profeta Isaí as capí tulo 61 describe su misio n: proclamar la buena nueva a los pobres, la liberacio n de los cautivos, la recuperacio n de la vista de los ciegos, y libertad de los oprimidos. Al mismo tiempo, proclama un an o aceptable al Sen or. En otras palabras, Jesu s proclama ser el Mesí as y la era mesia nica que ha comenzado. En nuestra segunda lectura, San Pablo nos ayuda a reflexionar sobre la iglesia. La iglesia somos el cuerpo de Cristo. Como un cuerpo tiene muchos miembros, pero es un so lo cuerpo, así tambie n Cristo. De hecho, hay diferentes funciones, pero todas son importantes para el cuerpo. Por el bautismo, las personas esta n unidas a Cristo y unos a otros por el Espí ritu Santo. Para ser saludables, los miembros de Cristo (la iglesia) deben trabajar juntos. Con el fin de compartir eficazmente en la misio n de Cristo, la iglesia debe trabajar unida. Como miembros de la iglesia de Cristo debemos pacientemente y humildemente trabajamos juntos en la realizacio n del amor, perdo n y misericordia.
