BLESSED
When we think of the word
Beatitude we think of today s
discourse from Luke s Gospel, or
the more familiar one from
Matthew (which begins Blessed
are the poor in spirit . . . ).
Actually, beatitudes occur
throughout the prophets and
Gospels. Today in Jeremiah
(with an echo in the psalm) we
hear, Blessed is the one who
trusts in the Lord (Jeremiah
17:7). Following his resurrection
in John s Gospel, Christ
proclaims, Blessed are those
who have not seen and have
believed (John 20:29). The
evangelists placed these sayings
throughout the Gospels as short
reminders about the
characteristics that one will find
in a follower of Christ,
characteristics that will help
spread the Good News in this
life and lead to eternal blessings
in the next. In Latin, the saints
are called the Beati, the
Blessed, for they are the ones
who lived the blessed life as
described by Jesus throughout
the Gospels. How blest are we,
when we also strive to make our
own days a living beatitude!
