They show the face of Christ and portray his charity. They are the magna carta of the Christian life, showing us the way to live, think and act in order to live the life in the Spirit to which we are called. Ask yourself the question: How am I to live today? The answer is found in the Beatitudes. Blessed be the Child who today delights Bethlehem, Blessed be the Newborn who today made humanity young again. Blessed be the Fruit who bowed himself down for our hunger. Blessed be the Gracious One who suddenly enriched all of our poverty and filled our need. Blessed be he whose mercy inclined him to heal our sickness. Blessed is he whom freedom crucified, when he permitted it. Blessed is he whom also the wood bore, when he allowed it. Blessed is he whom even the grave enclosed, when he set limits to himself. Blessed is he whose will brought him to the womb and to birth and to the bosom and to growth. Blessed is he who changes revived our humanity. Blessed is he who engraved our soul and adorned and betrothed her to himself. Blessed is he who made our body a tabernacle for his hiddenness. Blessed is he who with our tongue interpreted his secrets.	Email the Presbytery Priest on Call: Fr. P. Curran Tel. (094) 21274
