Telling The Story
The Acceptable Year
Hi, welcome to Telling the Story I'm your host Fr. David Smith. Today's Telling the Story is inspired by the gospel for the Indiction - that is, the Ecclesiastical New Year - from St. Luke's gospel (4:16-22). In that gospel, our Lord announces His Messiahship by quoting from the prophet Isaiah, chapter 61. I wonder what was going through Isaiah's mind when he received these words from God, and how he imagined that they would be used in the future? Today's Telling the Story is entitled "The Acceptable Year."
