Lenten Reflection: The Beatitudes
In 2 Corinthians 5:20, St. Paul reminds us: "So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God."
As Christians, our practical way of living as representatives of Jesus in this world can be summed up Jesus' teaching called "The Beatitudes," which are found in Matthew chapter 5, especially in verses 3-12. They are the following:
When he saw the crowds,he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He began to teach them, saying:
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter
every kind of evil against you [falsely] because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus
they persecuted the prophets who were before you.“You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house.
Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.
How have we done so far in living out the beatitudes in our lives? And how can we use this Lent to live them more concretely and become true ambassadors for Christ to all those to whom we are sent? -
We Need Your Help
The Christmas season is the time for giving and for reaching out to those in need. This year, we ask you to please consider helping out the parish in our need.
RAISING THE ROOFS:
This year, we learned that roofs of both the school and the church need replacing, as illustrated by the massive leaks we have in the parish. The current estimate for the work is $300,000.
One of our parishioners has challenged 300 members of our parish and school family to give $1000 each, after which he will also increase his donation. Please help us to reach our goal.
To help us out, please sign up an give to our Renew + Rebuild campaign.
PAYING THE BILLS:
We ask you to consider committing to a weekly donation to help us out. The easiest way to give is through our online giving website, WeShare. You can give to the parish easily, and the website keeps track of your contributions so you can claim them on your taxes.
A $20 weekly donation, for example, would provide the parish with a year's contribution of $1040 to cover the bills.
The pandemic caused us to lose a large part of our income and has left us unable to pay our bills. Throughout the lockdown until now, we have remained open as a quiet sanctuary from all of the problems outside. We continue to offer spiritual support through our celebration of the sacraments, online transmission of the masses, religious formation, preparation of couples for marriage, and availability for personal counsel.
In addition, we also take care of the facilities and part of the utilities and maintenance of Transfiguration School.
Please help us to continue to do God's work for our community. -
