Matthew 5:3-5
11\/03\/2026
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. (ESV)
As we celebrate the Feast of All Saints, we ask, ``Who are the cloud of witnesses spoken of in Hebrews? Who are the countless saints robed in white as seen by Saint John as he was shown a vision of the last times?'' Our prayer this week speaks of all Christians being part of the one body of Christ. The Church on earth and the Church in heaven are one in the same, built of the grace of God as found in Jesus.
Almighty and everlasting God, You knit together Your faithful people of all times and places into one holy communion, the mystical body of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Grant us so to follow Your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living that, together with them, we may come to the unspeakable joys You have prepared for those who love You.
Being a Christian is a matter of faith and confession, not a matter of works. Redemption from sin and death brings forth a response, the good works which flow from being forgiven by God's rich grace and favor alone. Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount, spoke of the faith of those who are redeemed from the clutches of sin.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
These are not people of heroic faith, but those who plead before God, ``Be merciful to me, the sinner.'' They know they do not deserve the gift of forgiveness and eternal life. With humble hearts they receive God's mercy, and desire to serve Him in thought, word, and deed.
May our Lord grant us faith which accepts His love even though we know we are unworthy. Amen.
