Taking the Sermon Home


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?
