Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Beatitudes” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed the “Beatitudes” to His disciples. These profound divine Truths will inspire us if, we have a sincere faith in Jesus, as our Saviour. Ponder on, “If our life’s focus is living a longer life, fearing death, and preoccupied with self-glory, then, the divine gift of Eternal Happiness in the “Beatitudes” will not shape our hearts’ desires.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 5:2b-10
This is what Jesus taught his disciples:
‘How happy are the poor in spirit: theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Happy are the gentle: they shall have the earth for their heritage.
Happy those who mourn: they shall be comforted.
Happy those who hunger and thirst for what is right: they shall be satisfied.
Happy the merciful: they shall have mercy shown them.
Happy the pure in heart: they shall see God.
Happy the peacemakers: they shall be called sons of God.
Happy those who are persecuted in the cause of right: theirs is the kingdom of heaven.’
