GOSPEL READING
Matthew 5 : 1-12
Cel : The Lord be with you . All : And with your spirit . Cel :
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew All : Glory to you O Lord .
When Jesus saw the crowds , he went up the mountain , and after he had sat down , his disciples came to him . He began to teach them , saying : “ Blessed are the poor in spirit , for theirs is the kingdom of heaven . Blessed are they who mourn , for they will be comforted . Blessed are the meek , for they will inherit the land . Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness , for they will be satisfied . Blessed are the merciful , for they will be shown mercy . Blessed are the clean of heart , for they will see God . Blessed are the peacemakers , for they will be called children of God . Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness , for theirs is the kingdom of heaven . Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you [ falsely ] because of me . Rejoice and be glad , for your reward will be great in heaven .
