Tues 8.00pm– 9.00pm . Fri- 6.30pm - 7.20pm Seeing your Life through the Lens of the Gospel Matthew 5-1-12 The condemnation of the scribes and pharisees by Jesus brings to mind the public discourse about the Church in recent years.

This has highlighted the failures of church people to live up to the values of the Gospel.

This has had a negative ef- fect on many people and on their religious practice.

How do you find hope in the midst of this negative criticism?

When our actions match our words about gospel values, then our words carry more weight.

Recall people whom you admired for this quality.

Perhaps your own experience at times confirms this.

Our passage ends with a paradox. Those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

For Jesus the way to greatness and a full life is through service of others.

When have you found the way of ser- vice brought unexpected rewards?

Sunday 1st November 2026 a Feast of All Saints

Every year the Church recalls the example, witness, and prayer | gy) FEAST of the holy women and men who have been identified by the | i ó ALL Church as Saints.

These saints are more than just role models; | Baal.

SAINTS they are family members with whom we continue to share relation, in a bond of prayer, called the Communion of Saints.

Every year when we celebrate this day, the Gospel we proclaim recalls for us Jesus’ teaching about happiness, the Beatitudes.

We quickly note in this reading that none of those Jesus names as “blessed” or “happy” are expected. the poor in spirit, the meek, the persecuted.

Jesus' blueprint for happiness reflects little of what the world might call happiness.

What does Jesus mean when he uses the word “blessed?” This word is sometimes translated as “happy” or “fortunate” or “favoured.” In other words, Jesus is saying that divine favour is upon those who are poor, who mourn, who are persecuted.

This might have been welcome and surprising news to the crowds who heard Jesus that day.

The Beatitudes can be understood as a framework for Christian living.

Because of this, it is natural that we proclaim this Gospel on the Feast of All Saints.

Saints are people who lived the spirit of the Beatitudes as Jesus lived.

On this day, we too are challenged to model our lives on the spirit and promises of the Beatitudes.
