7th Sunday of Ordinary Time (C)
Jesus has a way of turning our expectations on their heads. The Beatitudes from last week’s gospel reading are a perfect example. The world says being rich will make you happy. Jesus says blessed are the poor. The world says happiness is a full belly. Jesus says blessed are the hungry. The world says celebrity and popularity are measures of success. Jesus says blessed are those who are persecuted.
