Wednesday of the Twenty-third Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel text
Lk 6:20-26
Lk 6:20-26
Raising his eyes toward his disciples Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for the Kingdom of God is yours."
Gospel's Commentary
Today we listen to the “Sermon on the Mount.” Jesus gives us courage: He always remains at our side, especially in difficulties—poverty, sadness, misunderstanding… In fact, there is a danger in going through life feeling completely self-sufficient: satisfied, laughing, praised by others…
—Jesus is realistic—there are difficulties!—and, at the same time, optimistic—He accompanies me. Walking with God, our journey is joyful, even when pain becomes a traveling companion.
