SERVANT
Sometimes the hour and the person meet.
Sometimes, when a task or mission is set upon
our shoulders, we know we must meet our responsibilities and we are ready. These are
heady and invigorating times. The first reading and the Gospel proclamation today are intimate glimpses of a commencement, an inauguration of a challenging future. In both
readings, a sense of gravity prevails.
The first reading is from the mysterious
Servant Songs from the book of Isaiah. The
person is steadfast and brave. His courage
and bravery are not located in his stout
heart, but in God. We are reminded, “The
Lord GOD opens my ear that I may
hear” (Isaiah 50:4), so the servant understands the mission. And twice, “The Lord GOD
is my help” (50:7, 9), so that the servant can
endure the coming struggle.
