Mathew begins his Gospel with an introduction of the family of Jesus, a collection of sinners, murderers, adulterers and saints. From the start he makes the statement that God sent his Son into our messy world, which includes ourselves as we look into and admit to our own "messy souls." He came to redeem this mess, and with his Wisdom guiding us and all of creation with power and love, he teaches us the path of knowledge which leads to salvation. (Cf. "O" Antiphon for today). Let us give thanks for God's great love in giving us Jesus, who is not distant from us, bore our likeness in all things save sin, and intimately knows our capacity for sin and sanctity. Yes, let us rejoice because he is ours and we are his.
