Reflection (The readings are below, for your reference)
Every time that you or I comfort those who mourn, reach out to the broken-hearted, visit the prisoner, help the sick, feed the hungry or perform any act that lifts up another, then we are blessed and a blessing. It matters not what religion we practice, if any. That is how we come to know the sacred here on earth. Any one of us, at any time, in any place, may fall into the category of vulnerable or not – how blessed it is that we receive help when vulnerable and give help when able.
Namaste! Amen!
The Readings
Isaiah 61:1-9
The spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has anointed me;
he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed,
to bind up the broken-hearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and release to the prisoners;
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour,
and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
to provide for those who mourn in Zion—
to give them a garland instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit.
but you shall be called priests of the Lord,
you shall be named ministers of our God;
I will faithfully give them their recompense,
and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Their descendants shall be known among the nations,
and their offspring among the peoples;
all who see them shall acknowledge
that they are a people whom the Lord has blessed.
Psalm 89:21-27
Revelation 1:5-8
Luke 4:16-21
