Zephaniah 2:3; 3:12-13
Psalm 146: 6-10
1 Corinthians 1: 26-31
Matthew 5: 1-12
Recall that Matthew was writing to a Jewish audience, and he was concerned with demonstrating to them that Jesus was the promised Messiah, in the line of Abraham, Moses, Isaiah and David. In this Gospel passage, Matthew places Jesus on a mountain to proclaim the Beatitudes (while Luke has him on a level plain)... what parallel to an old testament figure do you think his readers would have recognized?
How do you make choices about your values and actions as a family member, worker or citizen?
The topic for the Catechumenate session this Sunday will be Foundations of Christian Morality.
