Comfortable about limits to the heirs

The texts from the Roman Catholic Lectionary today present the challenge that an intimate relationship with God through Jesus Christ and in the Holy Spirit brings to the world in which control and security are primary motivators. Paul exhorts the Romans and all those who are living by the guidance of the Spirit to claim the relationship to which they are participants, "Children of God". In this relationship the expressions of the Divine praised by the psalmist are ours to practice as heirs. In the power of the Spirit we lead prisoners to prosperity and live the escape from death. The action of Jesus in the synagogue on the Sabbath is presented by Luke. Our mission is to be the healing agent of His Presence in our daily encounters regardless of the impact on the established comfort zones which serve to deny and obscure our invitation to be in the intimate relationship of heirs to the ministry of healing, mercy and forgiveness to which we have been invited by Jesus.
