“Rejoice and be glad,
Matthew 5:12
for your reward will be great in heaven.”
Reflection
In the Gospel today, we hear the Beatitudes. These core teachings of Christ are beautiful ways to live a Christian lifestyle. By following the way of humility, meekness, and mercy, we are revealing Jesus to a world broken by sin.
In this world we will not be satisfied, but by following Jesus’ example, especially in the form of the Beatitudes, we will be greatly satisfied in heaven. How can you live out the Beatitudes in your own life?
