Today's Gospel presents us with Luke's version of the Beatitudes. To help us better appreciate them, here they are in a contemporary English translation:
God will bless you people who are poor.
His kingdom belongs to you!
God ill bless
you hungry people.
You will have plenty to eat!
God will bless you people
who are crying.
You will laugh!
God will bless you when others hate you and won't have anything to do with you. God will bless you when people insult you and say cruel things about you, all because you are a follower of the Son of Man. Long ago you own people did these same things to the prophets. So when this happens to you be happy and jump for joy! You will have a great reared in heaven. (Lk 6: 20-26)
Read and pray over these with love and peace; let them sink in and refresh you.
