Rejoice and Be Glad - n. 66




GOING AGAINST THE FLOW

66. Let us listen once more to Jesus, with all the love and respect that the Master deserves. Let us allow his words to unsettle us, to challenge us and to demand a real change in the way we live. Otherwise, holiness will remain no more than an empty word. We turn now to the individual Beatitudes in the Gospel of Matthew (cf. Mt 5:3-12).[67]

[67] The order of the second and third Beatitudes varies in accordance with the different textual traditions.
