LJ2021 - Day 36 - Freedom

Lenten Journey 2021:
Faith in a Post Pandemic World
by Fr. Vazken Movsesian


Day 36: Freedom
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor;He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” ... Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing. - Jesus (Luke 4:17-21)

Jesus' message was one of freedom. The release from bondage that comes with and from Christ is complete, and not limited to a spiritual understanding. He frees the poor as well as the brokenhearted, the oppressed as well as the blind. The Lenten Journey is to walk away from all that ties you down and prevents you from experiencing that freedom.
