R/. GLORY TO YOU, O LORD.
WHEN JESUS SAW THE CROWDS, HE WENT UP THE MOUNTAIN,
AND AFTER HE HAD SAT DOWN, HIS DISCIPLES CAME TO HIM.
HE BEGAN TO TEACH THEM, SAYING:
"BLESSED ARE THE POOR IN SPIRIT,
FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
BLESSED ARE THEY WHO MOURN,
FOR THEY WILL BE COMFORTED.
BLESSED ARE THE MEEK,
FOR THEY WILL INHERIT THE LAND.
BLESSED ARE THEY WHO HUNGER AND THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS,
FOR THEY WILL BE SATISFIED.
BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL,
FOR THEY WILL BE SHOWN MERCY.
BLESSED ARE THE CLEAN OF HEART
FOR THEY WILL SEE GOD.
BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS,
FOR THEY WILL BE CALLED CHILDREN OF GOD.
BLESSED ARE THEY WHO ARE PERSECUTED
FOR THE SAKE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
BLESSED ARE YOU WHEN THEY INSULT YOU AND PERSECUTE YOU
AND UTTER EVERY KIND OF EVIL
AGAINST YOU FALSELY BECAUSE OF ME.
REJOICE AND BE GLAD,
FOR YOUR REWARD WILL BE GREAT IN HEAVEN."

R/. PRAISE TO YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST.
A STORY HAS BEEN TOLD ABOUT A WEALTHY MAN
WHO RARELY WENT TO CHURCH.
BUT HE WAS ON HIS DEATH BED SO HE CALLED THE PASTOR
AND HE SAID; FATHER,
YOU KNOW I NEVER REALLY CARED MUCH FOR CHURCH MATTERS
BUT IM ABOUT TO DIE AND ID LIKE TO BE ASSURED OF MY ETERNAL SALVATION.
DO YOU SUPPOSE IF I GAVE A MILLION DOLLARS TO THE PARISH
AND A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO YOU PERSONALLY
I WOULD GO TO HEAVEN?
WELL THE PASTOR KIND OF THOUGHT ABOUT THAT ONE FOR A LITTLE BIT
AND HE SAYS, WELL, I CANT SAY FOR SURE
BUT WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE? ITS WORTH A TRY.
WE KNOW THAT THE LORD EXPECTS MORE
THAN JUST LEAVING THE MONEY BEHIND TO CHARITIES.
AND THIS SUNDAY WE BEGIN A SERIES OF SUNDAYS
LOOKING AT THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT.
MATTHEW CHAPTERS 5 THROUGH 7
WHERE JESUS DESCRIBES HIS EXPECTATIONS.
THE NEW COMMANDMENT.
AND MATTHEW MAKES A POINT OF SAYING
THAT JESUS CLIMBS UP A MOUNTAIN TO TEACH
BECAUSE HE WANTS TO PRESENT JESUS AS A NEW MOSES.
MOSES HAD GONE UP MT SINAI AND DELIVERED GODS
COMMANDMENTS TO HIS PEOPLE THE ISRAELITES.
AND JESUS IS A NEW MOSES.
HE IS GREATER THAN MOSES AND HIS TEACHING,
HIS LAWS, HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE
GREATER THAN THOSE OF MOSES.
THE BEATITUDES ARE NOT LIKE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS PRIMARILY ARE
A LIST OF MINIMUM STANDARDS. THOU SHALL NOT.
JESUS COMMANDMENTS THE BEATITUDES ARE
REALLY CALLING US TO BE LIKE GOD
MERCIFUL, CLEAN OF HEART, PEACEMAKERS.
NOW THESE HIGHER STANDARDS CAN ACTUALLY BE KIND OF SCARY.
IT WOULD BE A LOT EASIER FOR US JUST TO LIVE OUR LIVES
HOWEVER WE WANTED TO AND THEN LEFT ALL THE MONEY
THAT REMAINS TO CHARITY IN ORDER TO GO TO HEAVEN.
BUT WE SHOULDNT BE AFRAID OF THESE HIGHER STANDARDS.
I MEAN WHEN YOU FOCUS ON THIS 1ST BEATITUDE
THOSE WHO ARE POOR IN SPIRIT
WHO RECOGNIZE THEIR OWN WEAKNESS.
WHO RECOGNIZE THEIR OWN DEPENDENCE .
WHO RECOGNIZE THEIR OWN INDEBTEDNESS
TO GOD FOR EVERYTHING.
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ALREADY
INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
TO SAY, LORD I NEED YOU.
SO WE ALREADY POSSESS THE KINGDOM NOW
AND THEN PERFECTLY IN ETERNITY
LET US EMBRACE THESE HIGHER
EXPECTATIONS OF THE BEATITUDES
THEY ULTIMATELY WILL FIND US MORE FULFILLED IN THIS LIFE.
AND CERTAINLY IN ETERNITY.
LET US NOW STAND AND OFFER OUR
PROFESSION OF FAITH TOGETHER.
I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD,
THE FATHER ALMIGHTY,
MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH,
OF ALL THINGS VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE.
I BELIEVE IN ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST,
THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD,
BORN OF THE FATHER BEFORE ALL AGES.
GOD FROM GOD, LIGHT FROM LIGHT,
TRUE GOD FROM TRUE GOD,
BEGOTTEN, NOT MADE, CONSUBSTANTIAL WITH THE FATHER;
THROUGH HIM ALL THINGS WERE MADE.
FOR US MEN AND FOR OUR SALVATION
HE CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN,
AND BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS INCARNATE
OF THE VIRGIN MARY, AND BECAME MAN.
FOR OUR SAKE HE WAS CRUCIFIED UNDER PONTIUS PILATE,
HE SUFFERED DEATH AND WAS BURIED,
AND ROSE AGAIN ON THE THIRD DAY
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCRIPTURES.
HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN
AND IS SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER.
HE WILL COME AGAIN IN GLORY
TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD
AND HIS KINGDOM WILL HAVE NO END.
I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT,
THE LORD, THE GIVER OF LIFE,
WHO PROCEEDS FROM THE FATHER AND THE SON,
WHO WITH THE FATHER AND THE SON
IS ADORED AND GLORIFIED,
WHO HAS SPOKEN THROUGH THE PROPHETS.
I BELIEVE IN ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH.
I CONFESS ONE BAPTISM FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD
AND THE LIFE OF THE WORLD TO COME. AMEN.
