The Mission Statement of Jesus | Fr. Tyler Mentzer, MIC

In today’s homily, Fr. Tyler Mentzer, MIC reflects on the mission statement of Christ. Jesus inaugurates His public mission by proclaiming the words of the prophet Isaiah, revealing that He has been sent to bring the Good News, freedom, healing, and salvation. His words announce not only who He is, but also the mission He has come to fulfill.
Jesus then demonstrates the power and authority of His Word. He commands demons and they obey; He speaks and those suffering from sickness and disease are healed. The fruits of His words reveal that the Gospel is not merely a message to be heard; it carries divine power that liberates, heals, and transforms lives. Watch today’s homily and discover how Christ’s mission continues to speak with power and transform our lives today.

This is not poetic language—it is the invitation of the living God to each of us.
