Blessed Are the Meek
For they shall inherit the earthThe meekness of Jesus is apparent in today's gospel reading. Let us marvel and give thanks to God for the example of Jesus to show us the way.
Luke9:51-56
"When the days for his being taken up were fulfilled, he resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem, and he sent messengers ahead of him. On the way they entered a Samaritan village to prepare for his reception there, but they would not welcome him because the destination of his journey was Jerusalem. When the disciples James and John saw this they asked, 'Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?' Jesus turned and rebuked them, and they journeyed to another village."
May our hearing the scripture stories of Jesus embolden us to deny ourselves and imitate him.
