4th Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)


Readings: Zephaniah 2: 3; 3: 12-13; 1 Corinthians 1:26-31; Matthew 5: 1-12A

Selected Passage:  "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven… Blessed are the PEACEMAKERS…” (Matthew 5:3 and 9)

Meditation:  The Beatitudes, strangely enough, remind us of the real keys to happiness. Yes, BLESSED are the poor; those who mourn; the meek; they who thirst for righteousness; the merciful; the clean of heart; the peacemakers; and they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness – theirs is the kingdom of God! The true follower of Jesus takes ALL the 8 Beatitudes and lives by them. And in our places of conflicts, blessed are the PEACEMAKERS; they are the bridges; the reconcilers; and the signs of our common bond amid pluralism and diversities. Thus they are called sons and daughters of God. Visit:  www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
