Brothers and sisters, the Beatitudes invite us to listen to the message of Jesus, to let it enter our hearts, and to move and stir within us. Let us pray.
Feeling called to life as builders of the Kingdom
• That the Church be a messianic proclamation, an announcement that the Kingdom of God has come for all, that for God’s love there are no near or distant, no marginalized…
Feeling called to life as builders of the Kingdom
• That all believers be aware that the Beatitudes are not a law, nor a code, nor a moral norm; they are Gospel, joyful announcement of the fulfillment of the Kingdom.
Feeling called to life as builders of the Kingdom
• That all of us let the Beatitudes take root in our hearts, giving credit to the words of Jesus, allowing ourselves to be reconfigured by them.
Feeling called to life as builders of the Kingdom
• That we feel called to life; to approach the poor, the hungry, those who weep and suffer; that we are able to recognize the face of Jesus in the peripheries.
Feeling called to life as builders of the Kingdom
• That all those who work for justice, with a clean and merciful heart; those who dream and build peace, feel encouraged in their daily commitments by all of us.
