The call that Jesus experienced led Him into His own town, His own community where He had
been reared and was known as Joseph's son. The call—to set the captives free. Actually, who is the
captive one? My brother who experiences want which is not being fulfilled or myself who experiences
a sense of alienation because of non-involvement? Perhaps we all suffer and need to be set free—each
in his own way . . . giving and receiving.
Oftentimes we think that the needs of the poor, the aged, the lonely are being taken care of by
our tax monies and that's all we owe them. But does our responsibility end with donations? What
about our talents given us through no merit of our own? Who really is responsible for the gifts, the
talents that are ours? And if Jesus has given us the right parents, the right moment in history to develop
ourselves, then are we not also responsible for sharing these gifts with others?
Jesus not only read the scriptures in His place of worship, but lived them in His everyday life.
What a challenge to make religion an everyday thing, real to our community, to the lonely, to the
hungry, the derelict. In setting this captive self free, in setting free others who share our captivity, the
glad tidings will certainly ring out for all to participate in joyfully.
