GOD’S SUMMONS Confronted with God’s power and majesty, the first response of the
prophet Isaiah was to acknowledge his sinfulness. “Woe is me, I am
doomed! For I am a man of unclean lips,” he said aloud. Likewise, with his
empty fishing nets dramatically filled at Jesus’ instruction, Peter fell to his
knees and cried out, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”
Next, Peter got up. He docked his boats then left to follow Jesus. Isaiah
also had a dramatic change of heart. When he heard the Lord say, “Whom
shall I send? Who will go for us?” Isaiah answered, “Here I am, send me.”
We are summoned daily by the Risen Lord. We are reminded of the
saving power of the gospel and know in our heart of hearts that, as St. Paul
wrote, believing in anything else won’t lead to anything.
What will it take for you to move past your sinfulness? What will it take
for you to get off your knees? What will it take for you to bring to dock what
is unimportant and to accept your call to be God’s messenger? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Luke 4:21-30
And Jesus said, “Amen, I say to you, no prophet is
accepted in his own native place.”
If we become a star athlete or acquire great wealth, our high
school or home town may honor us as “Person of the Year”
or dedicate a plaque to us. But if we challenge people to do
great things, there may be no plaque for us. Jesus entered
the synagogue in his home town of Nazareth and read a
passage from Isaiah that prophesied the coming of the
Messiah and then He said it had been fulfilled in their
midst. The people of Nazareth knew Jesus well. He grew up
and lived among them. He was one of them. He was like
them. He had not yet done anything to indicate that He was
the Messiah. But the people knew the Messiah would do
great things. If Jesus was the Messiah, there was no reason
why they, too, could not do great things. If Jesus could not
prove to them that He was the Messiah, there would be no
pressure on them to be better than they wanted to be. Jesus
knew that familiarity breeds doubt. He challenged the
people of Nazareth to accept Him despite their doubt - to
have faith in Him. Do we sometimes doubt Jesus? Do we
accept Him as Messiah despite our doubt? Do we have faith
in Him?
