This week we continue our reflection on the Beatitudes of Jesus in the gospel of Matthew. This Sunday we will reflect on Jesus's second pronouncement. Blessed or "Happy" are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Once again we find a strange, counter-intuitive definition of happiness (at least according to our culture). Mourning as the road to happiness? Really? What might Jesus mean here? Why is grief a means to happiness, according to Jesus? Let's think on it this Sunday.
