There, "to bring good news to the poor,
to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind,
to set the downtrodden free" are not of any market value.
So to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour for the poorly spirited would face the resistance of the global market.
Love has not dried, justice has not died, freedom and truth are not evaporated from human longing.
But they are choked within the forces of money and power.
Anything 'spiritual' is not spiritual, the words have economic and political intent within. Who knows we already belong to a parallel church in our adherence to certain views and spiritual trends? Many seem sharing such views due to their camouflaged form of orthodoxy to faith, and fidelity to catholic traditions. What underlie are capitalist business interests.
Such interests may promote a religious culture, because they need political power for better market. Unknowingly we often mistake this religious culture to be our fidelity to faith.
What we need is faith,
to hear the voice of the call within, the Spirit of the Lord is upon me to bring good news to the poorly spirited.
