Gospel according to Matthew (5:1-12)
; Blessed are the poor in spirit.

At that time, seeing the crowds, he went up the mountain: he sat down and came to him and his disciples. He began to speak and taught them, saying
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God Blessed are the persecuted for
justice, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for great is your reward in heaven. "
Word of the Lord.

TODAY January 30, 2011, the liturgy invites us to live the Gospel of "Beatitudes" Only the truth man recognizes his true face. The first beatitude about poverty because we can be enlightened by this truth. The man fled from the presence of God, because did not want to recognize an addiction, its poverty, believed to be self-sufficient, he falsified his documents, it was deceived and denied his identity. Thus found himself naked, without dignity, a vagabond living in foreign lands in a lie. Adam and Eve become the ancestors of many of our ancestors. That's why we turn to Mary in the "Salve Regina" by showing our identity cards: "We banished children of Eve "to return and have children that lost garden, where, for accepting the blandishments of the devil, we grabbed the fruit" of good and evil. "

Jesus is the new Adam, who came to us in humility, in poverty, to give us the garden, with every effort we must follow his teaching. Poverty should not be confused with poverty, with poverty that we see too much now exist in the world, but it's a lifestyle, an attitude in front of his life. If poverty is the result of human injustice becomes blasphemy before God and the dignity of man. The habit of St. Francis, not be confused with haggard faces and sad for those who live in hardship, of children dying of hunger, poverty is the light of truth, is a blessing and I think that poverty is the unripe fruit of selfishness, greed and malice of those who thinks only of himself, and his barns to hoard rather than distribute.

who begins to understand this beatitude, it may also reach the other, because poverty in spirit will know well meekness, mercy, purity of heart, peace. These are the commandments that Jesus in the name of the Father left us on this earth to live close to him until I join them in paradise.
