Like Jesus’s fellow villagers, we risk not recognising him. An abstract and distant god who doesn’t get himself involved in situations is more comfortable. God incarnated Himself: humble, tender, hidden, drawing near to us, living the normality of our daily life.
Pope Francis
This Pope Francis quote reflects on the gospel for the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year B. In this gospel, the people of Jesus’ hometown can’t recognize him as the Messiah. They know him too well and already have assumptions about him.
Do we take Jesus for granted? How can we look at our Lord in a new light and discover something new about Him today?
