Wednesday, 6/8/16
On Monday we passed too quickly over the Beatitudes. They
deserve our daily self-reminders of what each obliges us to do. Let’s take them
one at a time.
BLESSED ARE THE POOR IN SPIRIT. I should not aspire to be seen
as one of the great ones.
BLESSED ARE THEY WHO MOURN. I should ease another’s sorrows
by sharing them.
BLESSED ARE THE MEEK, I should let the other person hold the
TV remote.
BLESSED ARE THEY WHO HUNGER FOR JUSTICE. I should take part in most good causes.
BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL. I should forgive, even those who
do not deserve forgiveness.
BLESSED ARE THE CLEAN OF HEART. I shouldn’t overload my heart
with sexuality or wealth.
BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS, I should want to be one of
those special children of God.
BLESSED ARE YOU WHEN YOU PUT UP WITH BEING LOOKED DOWN ON.
Am I God? No!
