1 St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church 800 Bello Street, Pismo Beach CA Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time February 17, 2019 Blessed? In today s Gospel, Jesus reveals something quite strange to us. He soberly announces what seems to go against all sound reason and common sense, Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! What??!! How can we be blessed and rejoice when others reject or think poorly of us? The Greek word for blessed is makarios, the state of one who has become a partaker of God, the satisfaction of experiencing His fullness the serenity we experience from being at peace with Him, in contrast to the turmoil, emptiness and isolation we feel through shutting our hearts off from Him and His will. Do we place the esteem of our peers above pleasing God? Where do we find comfort and security? Jesus says we are blessed (filled with God s grace) when we are rejected and excluded for standing firm in His will. We can only endure what the world fears (rejection, discomfort) when we nurture the life of Christ in us that we received in Baptism. We do this through daily prayer, receiving the Sacraments, the reading of Scripture, repentance and when we humbly accept into our hearts the attitude of our Blessed Mother, who said, Let it be done to me according to Thy Word.

Actually, bea tudes 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 resurrec on 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 characteris cs that one will find in a follower of Christ, characteris cs that will help spread the Good News in this life and lead to eternal blessings in the next. In La n, the saints are called the Bea, 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 bea tude! Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
