JESUS AS A ROLE MODEL IN SOCIETY: “What characterizes the life of Jesus of Nazareth is a radical reversal of the values of the world. Jesus articulated His values in a series of phrases which Christians know as “The Beatitudes.” “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” The world today – as did the world of Jesus – considers the rich to be blessed. But Jesus declares that the poor are blessed; not because the poor are morally superior to the rich – often they are not – but because the poor need God more than the rich do. Not only are the poor more vulnerable than the rich but they are also socially inferior. Jesus sided with the poor & with the other people on the edge of polite society. He died a poor man, naked on the cross. (Fr David Warren, Scarborough Missionary – a weekly continuation) EXPLANATION OF THE PARTS OF THE EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION A weekly continuation for your information LITURGY OF THE WORD Gospel Acclamation: This is an acclamation to announce that the Gospel will be proclaimed next.
