Every person endowed with common sense and free will wants to be happy.\u00a0In the Gospel, Jesus speaks to us about happiness, when, from the Sermon on the Mount, St. Luke reminds us four times that Jesus emphasized the words “blessed” and “woe to you.” Jesus is a very demanding teacher.\u00a0Jesus’ words are received with misunderstanding, underestimated, and postponed for a later time… Saint Luke wrote the Gospel in Greek, which was the language of the culture and art of that time. The word “blessed” can be interpreted differently today.\u00a0We can say that God is blessed in the true sense of the word<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>When Jesus preaches on the mountain and utters the word “blessed,” he thinks not about God but about people. Jesus said the word “blessed” a total of eight times.\u00a0<\/span>Let’s stop at the four mentioned by St.<\/span><\/h2>\n

”\u00a0<\/span>Blessed are the poor, for yours is the kingdom of God<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0” (Lk 6:20).<\/span>
\nFor this happiness, for God’s sake, man knows how to renounce on earth, share, and endure lack.<\/span>
\n”\u00a0<\/span>Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled<\/span><\/strong> ” (Lk 6,21).<\/span>
\nJesus does not underestimate or forbid the natural needs of the body.\u00a0The church’s command to “do works of penitence as determined by the church authority” helps this.<\/span>
\n”\u00a0<\/span>Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0” (Lk 6:21).<\/span>
\nThis sadness leads a person to the depths of his heart and body.<\/span>
\n”\u00a0<\/span>Blessed will you be when people hate you…because of the Son of Man<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0” (Luke 6:22).<\/span>
\nSince Cain, humanity has suffered from a lack of brotherly love.<\/span><\/h2>\n

The first part of the Gospel periscope ends with the call: “Rejoice on that day and rejoice, for you have a great reward in heaven” (Lk 6:23). The very words of the Lord Jesus for those who believed in him are joy on earth. What follows is a real spiritual revolution, a change in man’s mindset about God, his neighbor, and himself. Jesus revealed God’s fatherhood to us. The text teaches us to understand the Christian service. With the words “blessings”\u00a0 <\/span>and “woe,” we realize how he looks at us, God, and we learn what we must do to meet God’s rightful demands of us. <\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Common sense tells us about happiness. God gave us reason and free will and offers even more. He provides eternal happiness that nothing can replace. Compare it to the earth. And it’s worth it.<\/span><\/h2>\n

What does this mean for us specifically? What do we want, and what will we do? Already at St.\u00a0mass, already today?<\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
