Third Sunday In Ordinary 26th / 27th January 2019

A Right to Justice

Jesus stood up in his home town and announced his

program: to bring glad tidings to the poor, to proclaim liberty

to captives, recovery of sight to the blind and release to

prisoners. It may not sound particularly religious to some, but

it was a program established by one who had returned to

Galilee “in the power of the Spirit.”

Sunday’s liturgy juxtaposes the story of Jesus reading in

the synagogue with the story of Ezra reading the law to people

upon their return from exile. The suggestion is that Jesus’

program is a kind of law, a rule that should govern our lives.

Bringing good news to the poor, liberating people from all their

oppressions, this is not some optional activity that one can

engage in only if one is inclined. It is “the law of the Lord,” it is

the program for which we have all been anointed.

The unity and peace we pray for at the beginning of Mass

will only come if Jesus’ followers accept his program as their

own. In his plan of salvation. God gave Israel its law. ... Of this

collection of laws, love of God above all things and of

neighbour as oneself already constitute the centre. But the

justice which must govern relations between people, and the law

which is its juridical expression, also belong to the sum and

substance of the biblical law. ... It is in this context that one

should appreciate the biblical law’s care for the poor, the needy,

the widow and the orphan: They have a right to justice

according to the juridical ordinances of the people of God.
