Do you have experience with people who have no reason to live?\u00a0They don’t enjoy life, they don’t know how to enjoy themselves, they are often a burden to those around them, but also to themselves.\u00a0What Jesus Christ talks about in today’s gospel are the beatitudes (cf. Mt 5:1).\u00a0Jesus’ speech, as delivered by the evangelist Matthew, represents a new perspective on the meaning and activity of man – both towards God, his neighbor and himself.<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Beatitudes raise the question of who, in Jesus’ understanding, are “poor, weeping, silent, hungry for justice, merciful, pure of heart, spreading peace, persecuted, reviled”?\u00a0Questions beget answers, but they all have one thing in common: they will be rewarded.\u00a0Jesus explains these requirements at the beginning of his activity gradually during his public performance.\u00a0<\/span>This speech is considered the most beautiful and at the same time the most Christian and exemplary evangelization. At<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0the same time, the text is difficult and demanding, it needs an explanation.\u00a0The Church accepts these words of Christ as a synthesis of the commands of the Gospel, a kind of constitutional law of Christian morality.\u00a0For worldly ethics, Christ’s words are utopia, words far from life and also dangerous for the structures of dreaming and dreaming.\u00a0These words caused and still cause many discussions today.\u00a0These are words that really shock.\u00a0This is because Jesus points to a new image of the world, which is based on other values, which he relied on and still relies on the world that does not believe in God.\u00a0Jesus’ words point to the idea that God had for man when he created him.\u00a0Indeed, these words are in contrast to what we encounter in ordinary life.\u00a0Even in non-believers, when they pay adequate attention to them, the words evoke a positive view of Christ and his teachings.\u00a0Jesus places a radical emphasis on this model of life and calls it his program.\u00a0He convinces us of this with his own life.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Jesus addresses the words on the mountain to all who believe in his divinity.\u00a0That is, not only to listen to the words, but also to fulfill them in life.\u00a0It is a challenge – to adopt the spirit of these words.\u00a0Although the words caused astonishment in the crowd, the crowd was equally amazed at Jesus’ teaching.\u00a0It is the demand of a new heart “metanoia”, the moral rebirth of man, as Jesus explained to Nicodemus later that night.\u00a0<\/span>A Christian who knows how to renounce himself will find wisdom and justice, sanctification and redemption in Christ.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>After two millennia, today we know more clearly what Jesus meant when he announced the beatitudes at the beginning of his public appearance.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Jesus’ words are proof that all our happiness, even if we combine them, will not cause in us the happiness that we will achieve with Christ.\u00a0Who will count the disappointments, disgusts and the like, on which people based themselves while avoiding the clear demand of Christ..?\u00a0Wealth, fame, power, which a person strives for, for which he sacrifices time, effort, health, often even family, friends and others, will not make him happy<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
