[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, our Gospel for today is one of the most beautiful and important
in the New Testament: the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount, the eight
Beatitudes. Why is it so important? Because it is the Son of God telling us
how to be happy. It is the one who can’t be wrong telling us how to achieve
that which each of us most basically wants. What could be more compelling?
At the heart of Jesus’ program are these Beatitudes: “Blessed are the
merciful” and “Blessed are the peacemakers.” These name the very heart of
the spiritual program, for they name the ways that we participate most
directly in the divine life. *

> compassion; agape is willing the good of the other. Therefore, if you want
