GOSPEL: Matthew 5:1-12a Can you imagine a series of commercials telling people that the way to be truly happy is to be hungry for justice, poor in spirit, and single-hearted? Viewers might well wonder where these strange messages are coming from. These and the other happiness guide-lines, or Beatitudes, come from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. He wants his disciples to walk the path of littleness, of mercy, and of forgiveness. The Beatitudes are a great challenge and an even greater prom-ise of reward. If we live by them, we will be happier right now as well as in eternity. 1.) Jesus knew that life, perhaps especially life as a Christian, could be difficult. He knew that there were things to be sorrowing about, that people needed mercy that conflicts and persecutions would come. In all of these situations, Jesus tells us, we are blest. And, if we are mer-ciful, try to make peace, and try to be holy, we will be consoled and rewarded not with riches, or power, or influence but by God, by joy, by peace. Do we want this reward? Would we rather have riches or power? How can we open ourselves to God, joy, and peace?
EVANGELIO: Mateo 5:1-12a Puedes imaginar una serie de anuncios diciendo a la gente que la verdadera felicidad es tener hambre de justicia, ser pobre de espíritu y tener un corazón ardiente? Los que vean esto pueden pensar de donde viene ese extraño mensaje. Estas y las demás guías para la felicidad son las Bienaventuranzas, dadas por Jesús en el sermón de la montaña. El quiere que sus discípulos caminen por el camino de los pequeños, la misericordia y el perdón. Las Bienaventuranzas son un gran reto y una promesa de recom-pensa. Si las vivimos, seremos felices ahora y en la eternidad. 1.) Jesús sabía que la vida, quizás especialmente la vida cristiana, era difícil. El sabía que habían cosas que entristecerían, que la gente necesita perdón, que los conflictos y las persecuciones vendrían. En todas esas situaciones, Jesús nos dice que somos bendecidos. Y, si somos misericordiosos, tratamos de ser pacíficos y santos, seremos consolados y recompensados, no por la riqueza, el poder o la influen-cia, sino por Dios, el gozo y la paz. ¿Queremos esta recompensa? ¿Preferimos la riqueza y el poder? ¿Cómo podemos abrirnos a Dios, el gozo y la paz?
