a way in

Solemnity of All Saints
Matthew 5:1-12a



I suppose it is a good day to glance back
…to glance back in Matthew’s Gospel to the Beatitudes. 
It is good because sometimes
Anti-Beatitude seems stronger than Beatitude. 
Rejoice and be glad is hard for me today.

I want to focus on 
Hope and comfort
Promise and presence

I hate that it is so hard

But I can get specific
It is easier to get specific
To remember the Saints
whose holy lives touched mine this past year

It is my way into Beatitude
