In today's gospel passage (Lk 6:20-26), we are invited to see the world - and the people in that world - from a different perspective. As the saying goes: we are encouraged to see the world as Jesus sees it, and not necessarily as we might see it at first glance.
Jesus teaches us that those in our world who are poor are blessed; those who are hungry will be satisfied; those who are weeping will laugh; those who are excluded from conversations, from advancements, from recognition of any kind ... are precious in the eyes of our God.
These are simple yet challenging words. Perhaps today, they will help us to look at the world around us just a little bit differently. Maybe, they will help us to see the people we meet in a different light. God thinks with larger horizons than we do ... and this is a good thing because he is constantly calling us to grow. Life can be lived differently depending on our point of view.
Have a great day.
