3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time: The Human Person is Indispensable, not Disposable

Jesus's dramatic announcement in the synagogue at Nazareth at the beginning of his public ministry reminds us that the sign of the coming of the Messiah is the liberation of the human person in the various ways that he is enslaved. This theme of the dignity of the human person runs throughout the Scriptures and comes to its perfection in Jesus, who became man. This weekend we reflect on the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade in light of the Gospel affirmation of the dignity of the human person, especially the most vulnerable. Ending the tragedy of abortion is the most important social justice issue of our times, because it represents an attack on human life at its most vulnerable and defenseless stage.
