Fresh Starts, Open Hearts
Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 11:19PM We hear about newness and freshness from Jesus in this week's Gospel. Fr. Dan Riley, OFM, shares a reflection about how God wants to come into wherever we are with newness and freshness. So happy new year! Happy new moment. Happy new start. May our hearts emerge from old or cold times into fresh beginnings.

Readings:
Luke 4: 14-21
Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit,
and news of him spread throughout the whole region.
He taught in their synagogues and was praised by all.
He came to Nazareth, where he had grown up,
and went according to his custom
into the synagogue on the sabbath day.
He stood up to read and was handed a scroll of the prophet Isaiah.
He unrolled the scroll and found the passage where it was written:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to bring glad tidings to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to let the oppressed go free,
and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.
Rolling up the scroll, he handed it back to the attendant and sat down,
and the eyes of all in the synagogue looked intently at him.
He said to them,
“Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.”
