Isaiah 52:7-10; Hebrews 1:1-16; John 1:1-18
Homily
Jesus of Nazareth was a migrant, the son of a migrant.
One of the titles given to him in the Christian literature of the first centuries was precisely that of Stranger. He is the Stranger par excellence. He is even a stranger in his own home, because, as the Prologue to John's Gospel says, He came to his own people and his own people did not recognize him.
