Sixth Sunday
in Ordinary Time
February 17, 2019
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!
