St. Luke gives us four beatitudes and four woes as opposed to St. Matthew's eight beatitudes with which we are more familiar. Each Evangelist reverses a situation: the hungry will be satisfied...or those who are full will go hungry. We are hit with an arrow between the eyes....a startling wake-up call to see life the way God sees it rather than the way we see it. It's a shock to see the opposites side by side, if we take these words seriously. And that's what we should do. Read Luke 6:20-26 and sit with this passage; let it sink in and move us to a deeper faith, trust and change of attitude and behavior.
