Sunday February 13, 2022 – VI OF ORDINARY TIME

From the Gospel according to Luke (Lk 6: 17.20-26)

At that time, Jesus, having come down with the Twelve, stopped in a flat place. There was a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem and from the coast of Tire and Sidone.
And he lifted up his eyes to his disciples and said:
“Blessed are you, poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are you who are hungry now,
because you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who cry now,
because you will laugh.
Blessed are you when men hate you and when they ban you and insult you and despise your name as infamous, because of the Son of man. Rejoice in that day and rejoice because, behold, your reward is great in heaven. In fact, their fathers did the same with the prophets.
But woe to you, rich people,
because you have already received your consolation.
Woe to you, who are now full,
because you will be hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
because you will be in pain and you will cry.
Woe, when all men speak well of you. In fact, their fathers acted in the same way with false prophets ”.

Word of the Lord
