SIXTH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR February 16, 2025

Today’s gospel reading consisted of Saint Luke’s presentation of the Beatitudes.  The Catechism describes these words of Jesus as the heart of the Gospel. If we are to find the message of Our Lord distilled in one reading, this is it.

     The fact that many people find the Beatitudes warm and user-friendly can show just how wrapped up in worldliness one can become. For the gospel today contains both the assurance of blessedness but also a serious threat against the worldly:

Alas for you who are rich: you are having your consolation now.

Alas for you who have your fill now: you shall go hungry.

Alas for you who laugh now: you shall mourn and weep.
