An invitation for each of us

Today's first reading (Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7) is fulfilled perfectly in Christ, but it is also an invitation and a challenge to all of us who call ourselves Christians.

I, the LORD, have called you
for the victory of justice,

to bring out prisoners from confinement,
and from the dungeon,
those who live in darkness.
