20170913 Gospel Lk 6:20-26

Raising his eyes toward his disciples Jesus said:

"Blessed are you who are poor, for the Kingdom of God is yours. Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man.

Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven. For their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way.

But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. But woe to you who are filled now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will grieve and weep. Woe to you when all speak well of you, for their ancestors treated the false prophets in this way."

Reflection:

Bulahan kuno kita, laong pa ni Jesus, kon pobre kita kay maangkon kuno nato an Kingdom of God; kon gutom kita, mapura ra kuno kita; magtuwaw, mahikatawa ra kuno kita; sanan bulahan ‘sab kuno kita kon kasilagan kita nan mga tawo, i-itsapuwera, insultohon sanan sawajon kita isip mga demonyo tungod sa ato hugot na pagtuo sa Son of Man.

Magsadya sanan maglipay kuno kita, laong pa Nija, kon moabot ini na adlaw dato kay dako kuno an premyo hikan sa langit para dato.

Pero kasub’an kuno nato an mga kuwartahan kay nadawat na nila an ila konsolasyon; an mga busog kuman kay moabot ra ‘sab dila na gutomon sila; sa mga malipajon kuman kay maguol sanan magtuwaw kuno sila; magsubo kuno kita kon dajegon kita nan mga tawo kay tag-trato kuno an ato mga katiguyangan na singod nan ini na pamaagi.

Singod ‘sab nan ini an nahisuyat sa ebanghhelyo ni Matthew sa ija Beatitude verses.

Beatitude – amo kuno ini an gusto ni Lord na himoon sanan simbanan nato sa ato mga kinabuhi, ini’n tag-long na “be attitude,” mga pamayhon para sa tinood na Kristiyano.
