Gospel Reflection: Luke 4: 14-21
Here’s a prayer
reflection on Luke 4:14-21, the gospel reading for Epiphany 3 C. It might function well as a call to
worship/opening prayer, too. It was written by Anne Osdieck.
Gospel Reflection: Luke 4: 14-21
He has anointed me to bring
glad tidings to the poor. Luke 4:18
Jesus
stood up,
unrolled the scroll
just as had Ezra, the priest-scribe,
and announced to
the assembly
and to us
that God is in our midst
this day.
Earth is holy now.
Anoint our being and doings,
Touch all our days,
with grace.
Let us honor this world
and its people.
