As Father Dominic reminded us this morning, what Jesus presents to us in the Beatitudes is not so much an exhortation on how to act but an invitation to notice who God is naming as most fortunate and chosen- those who are poor, forgotten, sad; those who are underachievers and losers according to the world's standards. Jesus points to the upsidedownness of life in the kingdom and calls us to view reality from a new perspective.
