Tenth Week of Ordinary Time

2 Corinthians 1:1-7; Psalm 34; Matthew 5:1-12

Signs and promises of the kingdom

We can often strengthen others around us because we ourselves have been strengthened. Often when we leave our lives open to God, our weaknesses become our strengths. Those things perceived to be weak -- poverty of spirit, gentleness, grief, for example, become signs and promises of the Kingdom of God.
