The Bea tudes mark the fulfillment of God's covenant promise to Abraham—that through his descendants all the na ons of the world would receive God's blessings. Jesus is the son of Abraham. And through the wisdom He speaks today, He bestows the Father's blessings upon "the poor in spirit." The poor in spirit are those who know that nothing they do can merit God's mercy and grace. These are the humble remnant in today's First Reading— taught to seek refuge in the name of the Lord. The Bea tudes reveal the divine path and purpose for our lives. All our striving should be for these virtues—to be poor in spirit; meek and clean of heart; merciful and makers of peace; seekers of the righteousness that comes from living by the law of Kingdom. The Kingdom we have inherited is no earthly territory, but the promised land of heaven. It is Zion where the Lord reigns forever. And, as we sing in today's Psalm, its blessings are for those whose hope is in the Lord . CWL EXECUTIVE MEETING: Tuesday, January 31 at 7:00pm in church meeting room.

IV DOMENICA DEL TEMPO ORDINARIO (ANNO A) Le bea tudini sono un ritra o di Gesù che dice: "vi ho de o queste cose perché la mia gioia sia in voi e la vostra gioia sia piena". Noi per grazia possiamo entrare in questa bea tudine già su questa terra, ascoltandolo e vivendo in amicizia con Lui, per sperimentarla poi in pienezza nel paradiso! La prima bea tudine è la porta d'ingresso per tu e le altre: beato il povero in spirito perché suo è il regno di Dio: è felice chi è povero in spirito, cioè chi chiede lo Spirito, chi fa spazio a Dio nel suo cuore. Dovremmo chiedere in ogni a mo lo Spirito: il Padre non dona lo Spirito Santo a tu , ma a tu quelli che glielo chiedono! Felice chi sa essere misericordioso, che si lascia toccare dal male altrui come se fosse il proprio, perché troverà misericordia; felice chi si impegna per fare pace a orno a sé, costruendo un mondo migliore. In conclusione: oggi va di moda la scommessa: abbiamo due possibilità; o fidarci di Gesù, scomme endo sul fa o che è Dio e che è il solo che ci può rendere bea , o ritenerlo un ma o e lasciar perdere. I san la loro scommessa l'hanno fa a, non da soli, ma nella Chiesa e ora sono gloriosi in cielo. Ora tocca a noi, tocca a te: su chi vogliamo scomme ere la nostra vita? A chi affidarla ?
