“And Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about Him spread through all the surrounding district.  And He began teaching in their synagogues and was praised by all” (Luke 4:14-15).

Everything Jesus did was for the sake of granting us the grace to go and do likewise.  We have been called through the water of our baptism to go in the power of the Holy Spirit and share the good news of the Gospel.  We are to teach others what we have learned.  We are to share that Jesus is leading the way out of this world of constant turmoil into a place where the peace which surpasses all understanding reigns.

Lord, only You are able to accomplish what needs to be done.  But also, You have shown us the way to live the life You offer.  In one very real sense, all that You did was simple.  You went from place to place and proclaimed the kingdom of God.  What You did came through the power which belongs to You alone, but You have said that by the Holy Spirit, You would accomplish great things through us.

Lord Jesus, help me to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit so that I may learn how to be faithful.  Guide me in Your goodness and mercy to humbly walk in the way You have set before me.  No matter what comes, guide me in the way of the Gospel.  Help my life to be a proclamation of the Good News that You have shown to all who are willing to look and see.  May I be enabled to teach what I know and live according to the Father’s purpose.  Amen.
