USCSI REFLECTIONS

Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Luke: 4:21-30

Jesus challenges the crowd to expand their no­tions about the people on whom God’s favor rests. It is a challenge for us, too. The good news Jesus brings is not only for us who see ourselves as wonderful Christians. His favor is for those outside the church as well as inside, for those we care for and those we easily exclude.
