An excerpt from
CHAPTER THREE: IN THE LIGHT OF THE MASTER
GOING AGAINST THE FLOW
65. Although Jesus’ words may strike us as poetic, they clearly run counter to the way things are usually done in our world. Even if we find Jesus’ message attractive, the world pushes us towards another way of living. The Beatitudes are in no way trite or undemanding, quite the opposite. We can only practise them if the Holy Spirit fills us with his power and frees us from our weakness, our selfishness, our complacency and our pride.
Every Christian is challenged, here and now, to be actively engaged in evangelization
; indeed, anyone who has truly experienced God's saving love does not need much time or lengthy training to go out and proclaim that love.
Lord, teach me to be generous, to serve you as you deserve, to give and not to count cost, to fight and not to heed the wounds, to toil and not to seek for rest, to labor and not to look for any reward, save that of knowing that I do your holy will.
