14th Sunday Ordinary Time, C
Is. 66:1-14 Isaiah calls for rejoicing as the exiles return from captivity. Those who had been cut off are now restored to the comfort of their "mother" Jerusalem. The Reign of God is prefigured in the joy they experience.
Gal 6:14-18 Paul wishes "peace and mercy" on all who follow the cross of Christ. He would have understood the exile as being seperated from Christ as compared to the joy of knowing Christ.
Lk 10:1-20 The mission of the Church is prefigured in the sending of the 72. They are sent to bring "peace" and announcing the reign of God.
What kind of message do we have to share with a post-Christian world?
