This week's gospel passage is Matthew 5: 3-12, The Beatitudes. This is a loose reworking, which may speak to our present age...
there will be no full sermon this week as I am not preaching, but listening to our student share her reflections
When life
makes you feel unworthy, the blessings of heaven will be yours
When your
heart is breaking, the blessings of comfort are yours
When your
fears hold you back, the blessing will be richly won
When the
world ignores and betrays you, blessings come from unknown sources
When your
hearts is moved to mercy, the blessing is returned
When your
hearts is pure and innocent, the blessing is knowing God
When you are
moved to see the best, sow seeds of peace and seek better ways, others will
bless your heart
When others
take advantage and see you as weak, God’s
place for you is undisputed
And when
people of faith are cursed and mistreated, and others speak out against them,
be blessed and joyful, your troubles are shared by the company of heaven
