Homily for Sunday 4C, 30 January 2022, Luke 4:21-30

Today’s Gospel scene sets before us the mystery of the Lord’s attractive power, and also, immediately conjoined to that, the mystery of his rejection. We have here an illustration of the truth stated by St. John in his Prologue: He was the light that came into the darkness of our world, and the darkness could not comprehend it. He came to his own, but his own received him not (Jn 1:5,11).
