Reflections
GOSPEL:
Matthew 5: 1-12
Can you imagine a series of commercials
telling people that the way to be truly
happy is to be hungry for justice, poor in
spirit, and single-hearted? Viewers might
well wonder where these strange messages
are coming from. These and the other
happiness guidelines, or Beatitudes, come
from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. He wants
his disciples to walk the path of
littleness, of mercy, and of
forgiveness.
The
Beatitudes are a great challenge and an
even greater promise of reward. If we live
by them, we will be happier right now as
well as in eternity.
1.)
Jesus knew that life, perhaps especially
life as a Christian, could be difficult.
He knew that there were things to be
sorrowing about, that people needed mercy,
that conflicts and persecutions would
come. In all of these situations, Jesus
tells us, we are blest. And, if we are
merciful, try to make peace, and try to be
holy, we will be consoled and rewarded not
with riches, or power, or influence but by
God, by joy, by peace. Do we want this
reward?
2.)
Would we rather have riches or power? How
can we open ourselves to God, joy, and
peace?
