THE Sunday RE ADINGS First Reading: Apoc. 7:2-4, 9-14 In commemorating all the saints in heaven, we give thanks to God for the inspiration which their witness continues to give us.
Though not known to us by name, these are the women and menwho showed perseverance and trust in their pilgrim jour ney of faith.
Far from fleeing in the face of challenge, they faced di fficulty with con fidence and hope and now rejoice in God's presence forever.
Second Reading: 1 John 3:1-3 John reminds us of our identity as children of a God who is lavish with his gifts.
We are asked to hold fast to the hope contained in God’s promise to us.
As we journey together towards our h eavenly home, we are strengthened in the knowledge that he is with guiding us, perfecting us, preparing us for a destiny which is beyond our wildest imaginings.
Gospel: MaƩhew 5:1-12 The first three words in today's Gospel passage provide with the key to understanding why Jesus climbed the hill and beg an to teach: seeing the crowds .' In the Scriptures, the image of sight is often used to describe not just the physical act of looking at and recognizing someone or something but also — and at a more profo und level — 'seeing' describes spiritual insight.
When Jesus looks at us, he sees as God sees.
He recognizes our need. He speaks words o f life to us.
He enlivens our hearts with hope and he helps us to se that the poor, humble, liƩle ones of the earth are those who will inherit the kingdom of heaven.

They also show us how God wants us to respond to it: with mercy, with peacemaking, with a hunger and thirst for holiness (right living and justice).
The Beatitudes give us a hint of what we pray for when we pray "Your kingdom come.
The Beatitudes are not just for the saints of They are for us today.
