Matthew 5:1-12Those who do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God find blessings. Those who recognize the power of the cross – though it represents weakness – realize the wisdom of God. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus names those who are blessed: the poor, the meek, the mournful and the peacemakers. Our baptism invites us to live into this new, blessed identity.
