Jesus was sent by God to bring salvation to the world. In today’s Gospel, he announces his
mission using the words of the prophet Isaiah: bringing good news to the poor, freedom to
captives, sight to the blind, and liberation for the oppressed. Through his life, death, and
Resurrection, Jesus inaugurated the Kingdom of God. He has entrusted us with the mission of
continuing this work, setting a clear framework for us to follow. To support us in this mission,
Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit, who empowers and guides the Church in serving the Kingdom of
God.

Gather your family and read today’s Gospel (Luke 1:1–4; 4:14–21). Encourage everyone to
visualize the vision Jesus describes using Isaiah’s words. Reflect on your own community and
neighborhood: What challenges need to be addressed? Who are the people longing for hope,
healing, or justice? Discuss what actions you can take as a family to help bring this vision to life.
Together, commit to praying for the coming of God’s Kingdom and decide on one specific action
to address a need in your community. Seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance and strength by praying
the Prayer to the Holy Spirit.
