"All eyes were fixed on of him "
in Nazareth on the Sabbath, the synagogue and stood up to read. Open the scroll of the prophet Isaiah, he found the place where it was written: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed" (Isaiah 61, 1). It is certainly not due to chance, but the intervention of divine providence, the fact that Jesus has opened the roll and found in the text of the chapter that prophesied about him. If it is written: "A sparrow does not fall to the ground without the Father wants it ... the hair of your head are all numbered "(Mt 10, 29-30), could perhaps be due to chance reading of that text, expressing precisely the mystery of Christ? In fact, the text recalls Christ ... Because, Jesus says: "He sent me to proclaim good news to the poor," those who have neither God nor Law, nor prophets, nor justice, nor any other virtue. For this reason, God has sent as a messenger at the poor, to proclaim their liberation, "set at liberty the oppressed." There may be more oppressed a man before it is released and healed by Jesus?
After reading this and rolled up the book, Jesus sat down, all eyes were fixed on him. But even now, if you wish, you can also keep your eyes fixed on him. Direct the look of your heart to the contemplation of wisdom, of truth, the only Son of God, and you have your eyes fixed on Jesus that assembly which Blessed Scripture attests that all eyes were "fixed on him"! How I wish that your shareholders would receive such a testimony! That everyone has the eyes of the heart There is a look at Jesus we are talking about. When you watch it, its light will make your face brighter and you can say, "Sir, did you shine upon us the light of your countenance" (Psalm 4, 7).
