St. Luke's rendition of the Beatitudes (Lk 6:20-26), with his accompanying "Woes" brings us back to he theme of detachment and "holy indifference" that Sunday's slice of Daily Bread proposed. On this 18th anniversary of 9/11, it's hard to swallow "Blessed are you who are now weeping,/ for you will laugh," or "Blessed are you when people hate you..." We are called to rise above our purely human reactions and work our way to another level where we will experience the "blessing" of what seems so contrary to it. In the "Divine Economy" black is white, and white is black." We don't see things the way God does, but with his grace, eventually we can. May we MAKE the time today to work on this worthwhile quest.
