Catholic TV Mass Online January 23, 2022: Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Presider: Fr. John Puodziunas OFM Parish: Assumption BVM Province Choir: Gaudete TEXT FROM THE HOMILY It sounds so good, the oppressed will be free, the blind will see, the poor will be raised up with a certain respect the dignity and liberty will be realized by all. Unrolling and reading the scroll from Isaiah these words become the mission statement for Jesus. But are these words any different than the promises and pledges of a utopia that we have heard from countless politicians, kings, presidents, all over the centuries? So many have promised to make the world a better place but with Jesus there is a difference and it comes from the beginning of the passage he unrolls in the scroll of Isaiah. He begins the spirit of the Lord is upon me. Words of anointment. There is an ancient Jewish custom whereby when a child comes of age to leave the family, the family meets the child at the front door of the home and there they say a blessing, they lay hands and they anoint. It would seem to be saying, good luck as you go out there into that world out there. But there's much more to this blessing and laying of hands and anointing. What they are saying is, I give you now the power to be who God has called you to be. I give you now the power to be who God has called you to be. Anointing and sending out. For Jesus as with Ezra in the first reading, it is quite clear that all we do today will only be successful if we trust that we act according to God's plan. God's will. That we are anointed and we are sent into a secular world that promises a better world and their promise always, always, falls short. Why? Because the promise is really ungrounded. Merely words. Even if with good intention but their words, their promises, are trapped in human limitations. There is just so much that we can do on our own. With faith the promise is backed by anointing. It is grounded in the one who accomplishes through us if we allow God more than we can ever imagine and certainly more than we can accomplish ourselves. Anointed and sent Jesus takes on his mission to establish God's kingdom. A mission that goes through the cross to suffering and death, to resurrection and ascension and sending out of us. Anointed and sent. Let us do the work that God has planned for us, in our time. We have been given the power to be who God has called us to be. And we don't have to do it alone.
