MATTHEW 5:1-12
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain,
and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
He began to teach them, saying:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you
and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.
Rejoice and be glad,
for your reward will be great in heaven."


Here are some reflection questions you may want to think about and then share with family and friends.


What are the people, places and things that I am missing the most during the pandemic? Has this time of sacrifice helped me to understand and appreciate these blessings more?
The Pope hopes that we will be profoundly shaken by what is happening around us. What is happening around you? Do you feel profoundly shaken? If so, what is it that makes you feel that way?

What do I want our post-pandemic worked to look like? How can I help to bring that about?


If possible, please take some time to pray and think about these questions. If there are relatives or friends who have also heard this video, I suggest you share your answers to these questions an atmosphere of peace and prayer. Thanks for being part of this retreat.
