Theme: “Family and holistic development“
Text: Luke 4:18-21
18. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; He sent me to heal the brokenhearted, 19. To proclaim deliverance to captives, And recovery of sight to the blind, To set the oppressed free, To proclaim a year of favor from the Lord. 20. Then he rolled up the book, handed it to the servant, and sat down. Everyone in the synagogue was staring at him. 21. Then he began to say to them, This day this word of the scripture, which you have just heard, is fulfilled.
Let's remember:
The Lord Jesus Christ came to bring holistic development to families. He supports the family unit, the basis of the Church. In the holistic aspect, Christ takes care of all families even though we are used to saying that salvation is individual. The family is a whole, a group of people united by parental filiation. Within the family, Christ wants to reach every member without exception. Its point of impact is the proclamation of the good news to the poor. It begins with our faith, our soul, our spiritual person because the spiritual directs the natural. This explains why the announcement of the Word of God is always accompanied by signs, wonders and miracles. Notable among these miracles are the healing of the brokenhearted, the deliverance of captives, the restoration of sight to the blind, the release of the oppressed, and the publication of a year of grace. When this whole circuit of wonderful miracles closes, the fact is that the whole family will be taken care of, each member of the family circle will necessarily be among those who are heartbroken or the oppressed or even the captives or even the blind in short each family is full of this kind of people. Since the whole family has been reached by the Lord, then this Word of Scripture is fulfilled. The entire family can rejoice with joy because salvation has come into their midst. Excellent Wednesday.
