JANUARY 27TH, 2019

3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Introduction

Israel was sustained throughout countless struggles by God’s word revealed in the law. We Christians do not identify ourselves by the same criterion, but by a larger sense of law disclosed by Jesus, the living revelation of God. His ministry proclaimed a new law rooted in love that is lived out on behalf of others. A liberating law, it requires a searing focus and discipline by us as individuals and as a community. Providentially, the same Spirit that animated Jesus animates us.

Prayer of the Faithful

Let us pray now for our concerns and for the concerns of the whole world. For Pope Francis and the whole church — especially in this challenging time. May we be a shining witness to God’s law of love for all people, we pray:

For those places in the world where civil law is used as a weapon to impede justice, limit freedom or inflict unnecessary pain, we pray:

For those whose lives are complicated by church law, and for those who hide behind the law or are unwilling to consider necessary changes to the law, we pray:

For the local and national organizations and their efforts to liberate anyone falsely accused and punished; and for the will to resist condemning others by our attitudes, speech or actions, we pray:

For the courage to promote God’s love for the poor and oppressed in families, neighborhoods and workplaces, especially when this message is unwelcome, we pray:

For this community, that we may reflect the unity we are called to as members of Christ’s body, despite our disagreements or conflicts, we pray: Prayer: God, whose law is love, sometimes we find ourselves ambivalent about law. Sometimes we support laws that benefit us but burden others or negative about laws that we believe impinge upon us. Empower us to live the law of love that Jesus proclaimed as good news, even when it is inconvenient or painful. We ask this in Jesus’ holy name. Amen.

HOLY FAMILY PARISH THE THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

“O Espírito do Senhor está sobre mim, porque ele me consagrou com a unção

para anunciar a Boa Nova aos pobres;” III DTC – Ano C: – Neemias 8,2- 4a.5-6.8-10; Sl 19B(18); 1Cor 12,12-30; Lc 1,1-4; 4,14-21

O No prólogo (1,1-4), a solidez dos ensinamentos, transmitidos pelas testemunhas oculares, suscita a fé e a experiência do amor de Deus (=Teófilo). Jesus, guiado pelo Espírito, exerce o seu ministério em toda a região da Galileia. Ele chega à cidade de Nazaré, onde fora criado, e entra na sinagoga em dia de sábado. Levanta-se para fazer a leitura e explicar o texto sagrado. O Espírito do Senhor me ungiu para anunciar a Boa Nova aos pobres; a libertação aos presos; a recuperação da vista aos cegos; a liberdade aos oprimidos e proclamar um ano da graça do Senhor (4,18-19; cf. Is 61,1-2; 58,6). As pessoas tinham os olhos fixos em Jesus, pois nele se cumprem as Escrituras. Cristo renova a esperança dos oprimidos, manifestando a graça, a benevolência, o favor de Deus. O ano da graça remete à libertação anunciada pelo ano jubilar, que segundo Levítico 25, proporcionava o cancelamento das dívidas, a libertação dos escravos e o retorno das pessoas às suas propriedades.

Esdras e Neemias animam o povo sofrido a reconstruir o país e a fazer renascer a identidade através da palavra de Deus (1ª leitura). A palavra suscita a adesão ao Senhor e transforma a tristeza em alegria, proporcionando a comunhão e a partilha. O/a salmista contempla a dádiva da Lei, a Torá, e expressa o seu valor vital, qual luz a iluminar o caminho da fidelidade. Pela fé em Cristo partilhamos de uma existência comum, formando um só corpo na diversidade de dons e ministérios que se completam no amor fraterno.

Em Jesus cumprem-se as Escrituras e o ano da graça do Senhor, pois ele proclama a salvação integral ao ser humano. O olhar fixo em Cristo e no seu projeto leva a centrar as forças no serviço ao Reino da vida. A Palavra nos ilumina para sermos amigos de Deus..
