Wednesday, within the 23rd week year C. Col 3: 111; Luke 6:20-26
A Christian is someone who is already raised with Christ and who seeks to be where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. The poverty in spirit as an evangelic call is required. This means that thinking of what is above, not of what is on earth, for our life is hidden with Christ in God. Christ is our life because he died for us so that we may share in his glory. Christians are invited to put to death the parts of us that are earthly, such as immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and the greed that is idolatry. Pope Benedict XVI once said that this is an active call to renounce sinful human desires and earthly preoccupations in favor of a deeper, spiritual life in Christ. By doing so, we are not rejecting the created world, but we accept the process of purifying the inner life so one can see the world through God's eyes.
Queen of the most Holy Rosary, pray for us!
