Dear Friends,
When Jesus first delivered the Sermon on the Mount to the people of Galilee, he presented some radical ideas, advocating for the weak and the poor in a world that valued strength and riches.
Through our Living Word, the Beatitudes still speak to us today, turning what the world values on its head and showing us instead what God values.
The beatitudes are not so much about what we do, our actions, but who we are, our being. They are less in the first instance, about actions and more about relationships. We are called to live the beatitudes as a response to God blessing us. That is the way of Christ. That is not only the way forward through this life, it is Jesus’ ‘Way’ to life.
If we are to follow Christ it must become our way. Lord, help us to live the Beatitudes each day. Help us to carry them in our heart, speak them from our tongues, and live them in our lives. May they be branded on our thoughts so that we may keep them at the forefront of our spiritual life.
Peace and Grace to you.
Fr Ron.
