"Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted."

Jesus is speaking of those who are mourning a loss of someone acutely, but also those who lament the present state of our lives, for our sins and what is happening in our world.

Comfort will come, fully and fulfilled, in the life to come in heaven. In this present time, we can come to the Lord with our mourning and our pain.

Gospel: Matthew 5:1-12a
