Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted. (Matthew 5:4 NABRE)
The Beatitudes are a series of blessings Jesus pronounced as part of what we know as his Sermon on the Mount. Today's verse is the second beatitude.
It is good to remember that the Lord understands our suffering because he experienced it personally. I can imagine Jesus' anguish at the loss of Joseph, his earthly father who raised him, taught him, and loved him as his own son.
Today, I will pray for all those suffering the loss of a loved one.
Saint Norbert, remembered for your unswerving loyalty to the Church and fervent devotion to the Eucharist, pray for us.
