Feb 17 - 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear Parish Family,The Beatitudes are eight blessings recounted by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. Each is a proverb-like proclamation, without explanation. Four of the blessings appear in this week’s Gospel of Luke in his account of Jesus’ declarations, followed by four woes which mirror as a contrast to the blessings. Essentially, they are a promise or a pact which Jesus is making with his burgeoning group of disciples.
In the dictionary, “beatitudes” is defined as “supreme blessedness” or a “state of utmost bliss”. To be “blessed” in the Bible means to have found favor with God for various reasons: one is chosen, one is forgiven, one is justified, one is chastened, or one has faith and keeps God’s Word. Blessings are in every case a glorious gift of God’s grace. -
