Paul tells us that just as the body has many parts, the Christian community is the very Body of Christ. Though there are many parts, we are baptized into One Body and we all have special and unique gifts to share. Everyone has value and purpose. The unifying message we hear inspires us to work together to be signs of Jesus' presence in the world. Jesus begins His prophetic ministry, teaching in His hometown synagogue. Anointed by the Holy Spirit, Jesus proclaims the purpose of His ministry, to be a friend of the poor and outcast. We are reminded of our purpose, to use our gifts and talents to build community and continue Jesus' ministry on earth. (Liturgy of the Word, pg. 102)
