Peace of mind, body and spirit to you and your ohana!
Attitude!
That is what Jesus tells us in next weekend’s Gospel.
You need to have an attitude attuned to the Lord’s if you want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
And, that attitude is a “be” – attitude, meaning you must “be” what you aspire to be, that is, blessed by God.
Thus, we have the Beatitudes!
In Matthew’s version, those who have these attitudes are blessed.
Rejoice and be glad if you can “be” these: poor in spirit, mournful, meek, hungry & thirsty for righteousness, merciful, clean of heart, peacemaker, persecuted for the sake of righteousness and accepting when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.
Attitude!
