We give an overview on Catholic exegesis in conformity with the Church's Magisterium and then share an audio version of the Navarre Bible commentary on today's Gospel from Matthew 5:1-12. This passage begins the Sermon on the Mount discourse. This particular Gospel reading lays out the Beatitudes and the commentary analyzes and explains how they provide us with a guide on how to live our lives in union with Christ. We recommend you purchase and read the Navarre Bible for personal study. tinyurl.com/NavBible
