제1독서
요한 1서.4,19ㅡ5,4
사랑하는 여러분,
우리가 하느님을 19 사랑하는 것은
그분께서 먼저 우리를 사랑하셨기 때문입니다.
20 누가 “나는 하느님을 사랑한다.” 하면서
자기 형제를 미워하면, 그는 거짓말쟁이입니다.
눈에 보이는 자기 형제를 사랑하지 않는 사람이
보이지 않는 하느님을 사랑할 수는 없습니다.
21 우리가 그분에게서 받은 계명은 이것입니다.
하느님을 사랑하는 사람은 자기 형제도 사랑해야 한다는 것입니다.
5,1 예수님께서 그리스도이심을 믿는 사람은 모두 하느님에게서 태어났습니다.
아버지를 사랑하는 사람은 모두 그 자녀도 사랑합니다.
2 우리가 하느님을 사랑하고 그분의 계명을 실천하면,
그로써 우리가 하느님의 자녀들을 사랑한다는 것을 알게 됩니다.
3 하느님을 사랑하는 것은 바로 그분의 계명을 지키는 것입니다.
그리고 그분의 계명은 힘겹지 않습니다.
4 하느님에게서 태어난 사람은 모두 세상을 이기기 때문입니다.
세상을 이긴 그 승리는 바로 우리 믿음의 승리입니다.
복음
루카.4,14-22ㄱ
그때에 14 예수님께서 성령의 힘을 지니고 갈릴래아로 돌아가시니,
그분의 소문이 그 주변 모든 지방에 퍼졌다.
15 예수님께서는 그곳의 여러 회당에서 가르치시며
모든 사람에게 칭송을 받으셨다.
16 예수님께서는 당신이 자라신 나자렛으로 가시어,
안식일에 늘 하시던 대로 회당에 들어가셨다.
그리고 성경을 봉독하려고 일어서시자,
17 이사야 예언자의 두루마리가 그분께 건네졌다.
그분께서는 두루마리를 펴시고 이러한 말씀이 기록된 부분을 찾으셨다.
18 “주님께서 나에게 기름을 부어 주시니 주님의 영이 내 위에 내리셨다.
주님께서 나를 보내시어
가난한 이들에게 기쁜 소식을 전하고 잡혀간 이들에게 해방을 선포하며
눈먼 이들을 다시 보게 하고 억압받는 이들을 해방시켜 내보내며
19 주님의 은혜로운 해를 선포하게 하셨다.”
20 예수님께서 두루마리를 말아 시중드는 이에게 돌려주시고 자리에 앉으시니,
회당에 있던 모든 사람의 눈이 예수님을 주시하였다.
21 예수님께서 그들에게 말씀하기 시작하셨다.
“오늘 이 성경 말씀이 너희가 듣는 가운데에서 이루어졌다.”
22 그러자 모두 그분을 좋게 말하며,
그분의 입에서 나오는 은총의 말씀에 놀라워하였다.

Reading 1
Beloved, we love God because
he first loved us.
If anyone says, “I love God,”
but hates his brother, he is a liar;
for whoever does not love a brother whom he has seen
cannot love God whom he has not seen.
This is the commandment we have from him:
Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten by God,
and everyone who loves the Father
loves also the one begotten by him.
In this way we know that we love the children of God
when we love God and obey his commandments.
For the love of God is this,
that we keep his commandments.
And his commandments are not burdensome,
for whoever is begotten by God conquers the world.
And the victory that conquers the world is our faith.
Responsorial Psalm
R. (see 11) Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.
O God, with your judgment endow the king,
and with your justice, the king’s son;
He shall govern your people with justice
and your afflicted ones with judgment.
R. Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.
From fraud and violence he shall redeem them,
and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
May they be prayed for continually;
day by day shall they bless him.
R. Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.
May his name be blessed forever;
as long as the sun his name shall remain.
In him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed;
all the nations shall proclaim his happiness.
R. Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.
Gospel
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.”
And all spoke highly of him
and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth.

«The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. He has anointed me»
Fr. Antoni CAROL i Hostench
(Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona, Spain)
Today, we remember that «he who loves God love his brother also» (1Jn 4:21). How can we love God, whom we do not see, when we do not love our brother who is made in God's image? After Saint Peter had disowned Him three times, Jesus asked Peter whether he loved Him: «Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you» (Jn 21:17), he said. Jesus also asks us, as He did with Saint Peter: «Do you love me?», and we want to answer: —Lord, you know all things, you know that I love you despite my weaknesses; but let me prove it to you, help me discover my brothers' needs, to truly give myself to the needy and neglected, to accept them as they are, to value them.
Love is first man's calling. The Lord calls us to give ourselves to bring true happiness to others. As Saint John of the Cross says, «at the evening of our day we shall be judged by our loving». At the evening of each day, it is appropriate that we pause to examine ourselves to determine how we expressed our love, focusing on those aspects that we need to improve to make our loving an even greater blessing to others.
In His messianic proclamation Jesus said «The Spirit of the Lord is upon me» (Lk 4:18). It is the Spirit of Love that «anointed the Messiah to bring good news to the poor» (cf. Lk 4:18), who also “rests” upon us and guides us towards perfect love: as the Second Vatican Council points out, «all the faithful ones, of any estate or condition, are welcome to the plenitude of Christian life and the perfection of Charity». If we allow it, the Holy Spirit will transform us just as He changed the Apostles, so that we can act under His influence, even as He grants us His blessings, bringing them to all our hearts, as Saint Paul wrote: «But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law» (Gal 5:22-23).

This reflection will be coming soon. In the meantime, here is a reflecton from Carol from 2013.
This is my first reflection for the new year, a time when many people around the world like me welcome the time to start over, to dust off resolutions and try to do better. Today’s Gospel reminds me of those resolutions as Jesus goes to the synagogue and proclaims a year acceptable to the Lord. What he reads also calls for bringing glad tidings to the poor, to bring liberty to captives, recovery of sight to the blind and to let the oppressed go free.
I resolve to proclaim my own year acceptable to the Lord. I can start now and keep renewing that promise every day in prayer and actions. In proclaiming my year acceptable to the Lord, I can live out these words in my own way. I can offer my help to the poor, to those people who feel forgotten. I can try to free myself from the captivity of consumerism and always wanting more. I can free myself from the captivity of always being plugged in and multitasking. I can open my eyes and really see the people I am talking to, the people I am spending time with. I can offer prayers and love to those oppressed by fear and tribulations.
And in my own year acceptable to the Lord, I need to listen and live out to the words in the first reading: We must love God and our neighbor, our brother. We need to see God in all of our brothers and neighbors. In my year acceptable to the Lord, I will pray for the compassion and strength to do that every day. The Gospel tells us that Jesus returned in the power of the Holy Spirit. I pray that I open my heart and mind to the power of the Holy Spirit in the world.

DOES THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT HAVE YOU? | ||
| "Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee." �Luke 4:14 | ||
On Sunday, the last day of Christmas, our true Love, Jesus, will give us a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit, the true Christmas Spirit. on Sunday, we will celebrate the Baptism of Jesus, when the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus in fulfillment of one of Isaiah's prophecies (see Lk 4:18; Is 61:1). on that last day of Christmas, we will be given a renewal of our Baptisms and Confirmations. We will have a new Pentecost and a deeper life in the Spirit. We will end Christmas in the Spirit and begin a year of the Holy Spirit in which we will "bring glad tidings to the poor ... liberty to captives, recovery of sight to the blind" (Lk 4:18). However, the Holy Spirit will not come upon us against our will. We must accept the grace to be docile to the Spirit. This means:
The question is not: "Do we have the Holy Spirit?" but "Does the Holy Spirit have us?" Come, Holy Spirit, very soon! | ||
| Prayer: Father, may this Christmas season result in many thousands receiving the Holy Spirit deeply. | ||
| Promise: "We, for our part, love because He first loved us." —1 Jn 4:19 | ||
| Praise: Robert faced his fears and surrendered them to the Holy Spirit. |

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me"
What can bring us true freedom and joy? In Jesus we see the healing power of God's love and mercy in action. Wherever Jesus went, people gathered to hear him speak about the kingdom of heaven and God's promise to bring freedom and healing to those who put their trust in God. His gracious words brought hope, joy, and favor to those who were ready to receive him.
Jesus began his public ministry in his own land of Galilee where he was reared. His proclamation of the fulfillment of the Messianic prophecy of Isaiah brought wonder to the people. Isaiah had prophesied that the Messiah would come in the power of the Holy Spirit to bring freedom to those oppressed by sin and evil (see Isaiah 61:1-2). Jesus awakened their hope in the promises of God. They, in turn, received his words favorably and wondered what would become of "Joseph's son". Their hearts were hungry for the word of life and they looked to Jesus with anticipation and wonder. Do you look to Jesus with confidence and hope in the fulfillment of all God's promises?
The word "gospel" literally means "good news". Isaiah had prophesied that the Messiah would come in the power of the Holy Spirit to bring freedom to those who suffered from physical, mental, or spiritual oppression (see Isaiah 61:1-2). Jesus came to set people free, not only from their infirmities, but from the worst affliction of all - the tyranny of slavery to sin, Satan, and the fear of losing one's life. God's power alone can save us from dejection, hopelessness, and emptiness of life. The Gospel of salvation is "good news" for everyone who will receive it. Do you know the joy and freedom of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God who came to bring us the kingdom of heaven?
"Lord Jesus, you are the fulfillment of all our hopes and dreams. Through the gift of your Holy Spirit you bring us truth, freedom, and abundant life. Fill me with the joy of the Gospel and inflame my heart with love and zeal for you and for your kingdom of peace and righteousness".
Psalm 72:1-2, 14-17
1 Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to the royal son!
2 May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice!
14 From oppression and violence he redeems their life; and precious is their blood in his sight.
15 Long may he live, may gold of Sheba be given to him! May prayer be made for him continually, and blessings invoked for him all the day!
16 May there be abundance of grain in the land; on the tops of the mountains may it wave; may its fruit be like Lebanon; and may men blossom forth from the cities like the grass of the field!
17 May his name endure for ever, his fame continue as long as the sun! May men bless themselves by him, all nations call him blessed!
Daily Quote from the early church fathers: Christ brings hope of release from spiritual bondage, by Eusebius of Caesarea, 260/263-340 AD
"'The Spirit of the Lord is on me because he has anointed me' (Luke 4:18 and Isaiah 61:1). Clearly this happened to those who thought that the Christ of God was neither a mere man nor an unfleshed and unembodied Word who did not take on a mortal nature. Instead they say he is both God and human, God in that he is the only-begotten God who was in the bosom of the Father, and man... from the seed of David according to the flesh (Luke 1:32). Thus, God the Word, who through the prophecy has been called Lord, speaks out this prophecy that is preeminent among other promises: 'I am the Lord, and in the right time I will draw them together'...
"Taking the chrism in the Holy Spirit, he, chosen from among all, appears as the only-begotten Christ of God. And the verse 'he has sent me to proclaim good news to the poor' (Luke 4:18), he fulfilled in that time when he 'was preaching the kingdom of heaven' and explaining the beatitudes to the disciples by saying, 'Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God' (Matthew 5:3)... And for those nations then imprisoned in their souls by the invisible and spiritual powers he preached release to his newly encouraged disciples... Therefore, he preached release to the prisoners and to those suffering from blindness who were those enslaved by the error of polytheism, and he creates a year that is acceptable, through which he made all time his own year. And from the passing years of humanity he provides days of created light for those close to him. He never kept hidden the age that is to come after the perfecting of the present. For that age will be a time much on the Lord's mind, being an age and day of requiting. For he will grant a change of fortune or a year of favor to those struggling in the present life." (excerpt from COMMENTARY on ISAIAH 2.51.5)
[Eusebius of Caesarea (260/263-340) was a bishop, Scripture scholar and first historian of the Christian church.]
