Sadly we are not fed the whole Gospel of the Old Testament. We Catholics, and almost all other Christians, get to read and hear proclaimed as selected for Mass readings (Lectionary) only mostly the portions of Isaiah about the prophesies of the coming of the Messiah during Advent and of the Suffering Messiah during Lent. We miss the greater portion of the book that show that our God is a God of social justice. To use the right wing bad word thrown and smeared at their enemies in the culture war, God is a “woke” God, meaning he is awake, aware, and passionate about addressing and eradicating social injustices. Isaiah shows that God is on the side of and has the preferential love for: the poor, vulnerable, and afflicted; the lost, least, and last. Just read for samplers: Isaiah 30:18; Isaiah 1:15-17; and Isaiah 61:1-2.
Great video gentlemen.
Glad you enjoyed it!
