Today we begin a four week tour of passages from The Sermon on the Mount which is found in Matthew 5 through 7. Today’s gospel is the beautiful and familiar “Beatitudes” in Matthew 5:1-12.
· Notice how the reading begins: Jesus sees crowds, yet he addresses “the disciples.” Why do you think he speaks primarily to this subgroup?
· What seems radical or revolutionary to you about The Beatitudes?
· Picture a world in which the precepts of this gospel reading were lived out. What image comes to your mind? Where do you see “glimpses” of it in your day-to-day life?
