A Note from Fr. Francisco

The most well-known saints who lived the beatitudes are: St. Francis of Assisi and Saint Teresa of Calcutta, who shone for

their material and spiritual poverty. We also have St. Jerome who shed many tears in penance; St. Peter Claver and Blessed

Oscar Romero who were hungry and thirsty for justice. See the bulletin for Fr. Francisco’s complete

message.

A Franciscan Moment

The word “Beatitude” refers to a state of deep happiness or joy.  But these

sayings are paradoxes.  They turn our expectations upside down. 

Jesus is bringing us a new law, new expectations on how to live.  He is

bringing forth the Kingdom of God.

Stewardship Thought

Each of the “blesseds” in today’s gospel is a statement about an important aspect

in how we exercise stewardship of our lives. Each of them offers us an ideal of

how to live and how we find God living within us.

Franciscan Moment

Jesus proclaimed the Beatitudes in his first great sermon. He preached for the blessed to be “poor in spirit”. St. Francis understood perfectly what Jesus meant. He recognized God’s greatness and his

own lowliness. He prayed for hours asking the Lord, “Who are you? Who am I?” Join St. Francis this week, reflecting

on who God is and on his love for us.

We can walk closer to St. Francis, St. Clare, and our Franciscan brothers by mindfully

being more grateful for God’s almighty love. Let us appreciate, each day and every hour

all that we have and all that is good.

Reading from Today’s Mass Seek the LORD, all you humble

of the earth, who have observed his law;

seek justice, seek humility; perhaps you may be

sheltered on the day of the LORD's anger.
