10.31.2020 Gospel Matthew Chapter 5

The Lord be with you.  

The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew

When Jesus saw the crowd He went up the side of the hill, and there He sat down and He gathered his disciples around Him and He began to teach them. He said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit. Theirs is the kingdom of God. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek. They will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and who thirst for what is right. They will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful. They will see God. Blessed are those who are pure of heart, for they shall be called children of God. Blessed are the peacemakers. They will be called children of God. And blessed are those who are willing to suffer persecution for the sake of justice. The kingdom of God is theirs. And blessed are you when people exclude you, defame you, all because of me. Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in the kingdom of heaven. It was just in such a way that your ancestors treated the prophets.” 

The gospel of the Lord.
