THE GOSPEL
Matthew 5:1-12a
When Jesus saw the crowds he went up the mountain. He began to teach them.
Christ,
our teacher,
you are a
peacemaker.
You hunger and
you thirst for justice.
Yet you are meek and
merciful and strong
and powerful
in all that
counts.
Please be a blest
beatitude for
each of
us.
Let us live in you and
be beatitudes
for one
an-
other.
THE FIRST READING
Zephaniah 2:3; 3:12-13
But I will leave a remnant in your midst a people humble and lowly, who shall take refuge in the name of the Lord.
The rich can put all their trust in their money.
The poor have trust in God alone.
They hope, expect, wait for,
and then reap what
they need.
Lord,
make us poor in spirit.
THE SECOND READING
1 Corinthians 1:26-31Consider your own calling, brothers and sisters
From
stable to cross
you walked with the lowly:
the despised and the no account.
Give us your grace to answer your call,
to live in you. Be our wisdom
and our righteousness.
Be the love we
take to the
world.
