Scripture: Matthew 5:1-12, 1 John 3:1-3
Jesus’s Beatitudes proclaim the present blessing of those who feel the ache of this present life and moment, and point to a time to come when all will be fulfilled. As we gather, remembering and missing saints of our lives, we give thanks for their love and lives that have taught us both love and to ache in this holy way… that we might dream and reach for that day where justice, love, and peace may be complete.
