WE ARE meant to liberate

When Jesus reads from the Isaiah scroll in his hometown synagogue, repeating ancient words of divine hope, he sets a tone and course for his life and ministry: the good news he proclaims will lead to freedom. Still today, they are an invitation to take up belief in the power of liberation. Even (especially) when powerful voices seek to impose fear and control, the gospel speaks a clear message that calls us toward freedom, for ourselves and all our neighbors.
