The Beatitudes according to St. Matthew come to us in today's Gospel. My favorite is,"Blessed are the clean of heart for they shall see God." (Mt 5: 8). I have met many such people, one again just last night...and not only will they see God, but they enable us to see God in them. One of these wrote of an experience he had at a summer service camp, where conversions of students and faculty (!) took place as they labored together and shared their faith. One night, four students when to a chapel in the woods and prayed for what they thought was 20 minutes, but turned out to be 2 hours! As he observed, "How often do you hear of teens praying together for that length of time?" In one of the photos he sent, there he is kneeling before a statue of Mary in an outside grotto with the sun's rays almost blurring the entire photo...God's grace is much at work, and Mary continues to help the clean of heart see God."
