THE MOST IMPORTANT SERMON

 

 

 

 

 

In the Sermon on the Mount

Our Lord says,

“Blessed are the poor in spirit

For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven”

 

But who are

The poor on spirit

 

I dear say

It is us

ALL OF US---

 

Because we are chasing

The wrong things

 

Most of us

Are chasing lives

Based on wealth, fame, status, and fortune

But these things

Will not fill us up

 

Nature abhors a vacuum

And we

Must fill our lives with something

 

I suggest

We try to fill our lives with LOVE

Love of God---and---

Love of others

 

Only then

Can our spirit be filled

Only then can we be

NO LONGER---poor in spirit

 

We need to

Let go of yesterday

We need to

Focus on the present

We need to

Let the Lord possess us

 

God’s gift to us---IS TODAY

Today is the most important day

Of our lives

 

By focusing on LOVE

We might find that

We are no longer poor in spirit

And by focusing on love

WE might find that

The KINGDOM OF GOD

Is not only in Heaven

But RIGHT HERE on this earth

Inspired by the TEACHING of Father Leo Clifford---1922 to 2012

Other than Jesus Christ himself---and my own parents---

The SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT spiritual influence of my life-----

May he REST IN PEACE---In Jesus’ name---amen
