When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his
disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom
of heaven.”

PASTOR’S CORNER
Welcome Parishioners and Visitors to Our Lady of the Mountains for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. We are delighted that you join us in celebrating the mysteries of our faith. We see Jesus in his role as “teacher” in today’s Gospel text from Matthew 5, the Beatitudes. Here the Lord presents himself to us as “The New Moses.” Moses, as we all know, was the great teacher of God’s Old Testament Law, a law that was rooted in the Ten Commandments. God first gave those commandments to Moses on Mt. Sinai, and when Moses came down the mountain he gave them to the people of Israel. Jesus, in this scene, presents the “New Law of the Gospel” to his disciples. These are commonly known as the Beatitudes. The Beatitudes are the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. If a person practices and lives the Beatitudes, he is guaranteed a place in Heaven. May each of us strive to live the Beatitudes each and every day of our lives. May God bless your week. Fr Joseph Thai Cao Pastor

designed and created by well-known artist and
parishioner, Herb Mignery. The statue is a
limited edition macquette (25) of the original
Mary statue, which is in the Meditation Garden.
The cost of the macquette is $1,700 of which
$700 is a tax deductible contribution to Our Lady
of the Mountains Church Preservation Fund.
