He passed through the midst of them and went away

“They rose up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town had been built, to hurl him down headlong. But he passed through the midst of them and went away.” (LK 4: 29-30)

So sad-“He passed through the midst of them and went away.” Our Lord came to proclaim the Good News, but because His message didn’t announce their vision for the future, He was rejected and “went away.” We can keep our idealistic vision for our spouses and we can reject the truth about them, because our idealistic vision is more beautiful so the truth (and our spouses inside) go away. The truth or idealistic vision?

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; he has sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor.” (Gospel Acclamation)
