Clergy Corner

Question of the Week:

What must I do to grow in the discipline of being a good disciple of the Lord?

What can strengthen my “drooping hands and weak knees” (Hebrews 12:12)?

The passage we hear in the first reading today was written during a key era in Israel’s history. The Babylonians have just been defeated and the Jewish people can once again rule over Judah. At this point Isaiah could have called for only the Jewish faithful to return and refused entry to all pagans. But this is not what the LORD tells Isaiah. No, the LORD invites “nations of every language,” those who “have never heard of my fame, or seen my glory” (Isaiah 66:18–19). For Isaiah, then, this is an opportunity for the faith to spread well beyond the formerly exiled Chosen People and draw in people from Africa, Europe, and

Asia, where the nations listed in these verses are located. Not only that, some of these “foreigners” even will be chosen by God to serve as priests and Levites. Those previously thought of as unclean and unworthy to worship at all will now be able to offer sacrifice and perform cultic functions. God is truly the God of all.
