Homily by Archbishop Charles Jude Scicluna
I was struck by the final expression in this beautiful Gospel in which Jesus proclaims his programme: ‘All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth.’ (Luke 4:22).

In those days, Jesus, filled with the power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and a report about him spread through all the surrounding country. He began to teach in their synagogues and was praised by everyone.
