While you might have to reach for an atlas to determine that Isaiah is speaking about Galilee, today’s first reading is prophetic of Jesus’ future ministry in that province. The light that brings salvation and rejoicing is, ultimately, Christ. Liberation is the theme: liberation from both ignorance (“darkness”) and sin (the “yoke”). As Isaiah identifies a place, so Paul describes an attitude: the attitude that develops, even among good people, of equating their own will with the common good. This always brings dissension, and so it has done in Corinthians. Paul will not allow this; we are all members of “Christ’s party.” The gospel is not to divide us. Matthew quotes from Isaiah in today’s Gospel, presenting Jesus as the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecies. The theme is “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). To spread this message, Jesus begins to select disciples, four of whom we meet today: Peter, Andrew, James, and John

"Del escritorio del Padre:
Mis queridos amigos:
Si bien es posible que deba buscar un atlas para determinar que Isaías está hablando de Galilea, la primera lectura de hoy es profética del futuro ministerio de Jesús en esa provincia. La luz que trae salvación y regocijo es, en última instancia, Cristo. La liberación es el tema: la liberación de la ignorancia ("oscuridad") y del pecado (el "yugo"). Como Isaías identifica un lugar, Pablo describe una actitud: la actitud que se desarrolla, incluso entre las personas buenas, de equiparar su propia voluntad con el bien común. Esto siempre trae disensión, y así lo ha hecho en Corintios. Pablo no permitirá esto; todos somos miembros del "partido de Cristo". El evangelio no es para dividirnos. Mateo cita a Isaías en el Evangelio de hoy, presentando a Jesús como el cumplimiento de las profecías de Isaías. El tema es "Arrepiéntete, porque el reino de los cielos está cerca" (Mateo 4:17). Para difundir este mensaje, Jesús comienza a seleccionar discípulos, cuatro de los cuales son: Pedro, Andrés, Santiago y Juan.
En Cristo,
Padre William
