Sunday 1/24/16

Today's mass was in a new, small church with the Stations of the Cross in new, leaded windows. Very spare.
The Gospel was Luke's first, his opening letter to the "most excellent Theophilous," explaining Luke's motives in the Gospel. He has investigated everything and is sending Theophilous his findings of the life of Christ.
His first description is Christ returning to Galilee and speaking at the local synagogue. He reads a passasge from the old testament predicting the coming of the Son of Man. Then He sits down. Everyone looks at Him and then He says, "Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing."
They all must have lost their minds.
