The Beatitudes

On this day, All Saints Day, we have been given this list, this way of life, we are to work towards. To become. As the Saints have shown us.

The Beatitudes

When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain,

and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. 

He began to teach them, saying:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,

for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn,

for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,

for they will inherit the land.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,

for they will be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,

for they will be shown mercy.

Blessed are the clean of heart,

for they will see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,

for they will be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,

for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you

and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.

Rejoice and be glad,

for your reward will be great in heaven.”

A beautiful sermon today from Bishop Barron elaborates how this life we live, it's not about us. The true path to holiness is to follow the will of God.

Oh heavenly Father,

Help me to see your will for my life. Help me to live only in a way that leads me to righteousness, grace, mercy and love. So that each and every day, I grow closer to you.

Amen
