On this Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time we are invited to listen to Our Lord’s Sermon on the Mount. As Tony explains, the Beatitudes are not simply nice characteristics to aspire to, but a program for becoming more like Christ.
Mass Readings:
Reading 1: Zephaniah 2:3; 3:12-13
Psalm: Psalm 146:6-7, 8-9, 9-10
Reading 2: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31
Gospel: Matthew 5:1-12a
