What is there about his word?

“What is there about his word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” (LK 4: 36)

We are surrounded by words—we receive many messages, emails, texts and chats—we know how important words are. They deliver crucial information for our business and life, but they also deliver the most critical messages for our relationship: “I love you,” “I will take care of you,” “I will protect you and support you,” or “thank you for being with me—it was important to me,” etc. Sometimes words are lies. It happens. Fortunately Our Lord always has words for us, which, with “authority and power,” speak about His love for us. He is the loving Way, the Truth and the Life.

“A great prophet has arisen in our midst and God has visited his people.” (Gospel Acclamation)
