| A Holy Time |
| For those of us who live farther north, it is now the heart of winter. And for all of us, north and south, the holidays are over. We may sense the start of a long, hard stretch of blank time. These opening Sundays of “Ordinary Time” reflect this feeling of beginning. Today’s reading from the book of Nehemiah tells with great drama how the people gathered to hear, as though for the first time, a solemn reading of God’s word. As they listened, they fell to the ground and wept. But the prophet said, “Today is holy to the LORD your God. Do not be sad, and do not weep” (Nehemiah 8:9). Today’s Gospel tells a similar dramatic tale. We are presented with the very beginning of Jesus’ public life. The people gathered to listen, and Jesus proclaimed the fulfillment of the prophet’s words. To his listeners— and to us—he announced “a year acceptable to the Lord” (Luke 4:19). |
