"Happy are you when people insult you and persecute you and tell all kinds of evil lies against you because you are my followers. Be happy and glad, for a great reward is kept for you in heaven. This is how the prophets who lived before you were persecuted."
Matthew 5:11-12 GNBDK
Reflection:
The sermon at mount was a teaching to the disciples; and while the some beatitudes refer to them and those; Jesus addresses this one in particular to the disciples because Jesus knew what was coming their way. Have you then ever felt that among your circle of influence some dislike you beacuse you share the good news of Jesus or you find people keeping distance from your beacuse of your piety. Know that, the disciples went through the same and how happy you are for a great reward is kept for you for being a true disciple of Christ.
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to boldly proclaim the good news of Salvation that is in Jesus Christ alone. May his Holy Spirit give the wisdom and the words as you share the gospel. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
