Gospel Reflection

If we want to be with Jesus,
we must forget ourselves, carry our cross and follow.
If we want to save our life we will lose it
but if we lose our life for Christ and for the gospel,
we will save it.

With us it is impossible, but not for God.
Only God can save us.

Gospel Reading - The Beatitudes

20Then he looked up at his disciples and said:

‘Blessed are you who are poor,
       for yours is the kingdom of God.
21‘Blessed are you who are hungry now,
       for you will be filled.
‘Blessed are you who weep now,
       for you will laugh.

22‘Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame youa on account of the Son of Man. 23Rejoice on that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets.

24‘But woe to you who are rich,
       for you have received your consolation.
25 ‘Woe to you who are full now,
       for you will be hungry.
‘Woe to you who are laughing now,
       for you will mourn and weep.

26‘Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their ancestors did to the false prophets.

  1. Gk cast out your name as evil

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
     hallowed be your name,
     your kingdom come,
     your will be done,
          on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
     as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
     and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
     now and for ever.
Amen.
