'The people that lived in darkness have seen a great light.' This is how St Matthew describes the impact of Jesus' ministry. That light shines on us now as we gather in the Lord's name. Let us reflect on our need of this precious light.
First Reading:
The prophet predicts future liberation for an oppressed people.
Second Reading:
Paul launches a passionate appeal for unity in the community at Corinth.

The wonderful prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled in Jesus
