Friends of the Rosary,
From the Gospel of St. Matthew 5:1-12a, in this Fourth Sunday in ordinary time, we receive the Beatitudes from the Lord. And He said,
“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
The significance of the “poor in spirit” is revealed in the Beatitudes. This expression points to those whose hearts and consciences are intimately directed to Our Lord and who are tried by moments of suffering and difficulty. They don’t confide mainly in themselves but in God.
The poor in the Bible are the humbled, just, and meek, those who bear a burden on their shoulders, but are given God’s favor.
They are called blessed and happy because God’s merciful and compassionate gaze rests on them.
The poor detach themselves from the possession of persons and things, and above all, of themselves. The poor don’t find security in the gods of this world, like success, power, or pride, but in the Lord God in Heaven.
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
