With You in the Weeping

6th Sunday in Ordinary Time | Luke 6:17, 20-26 | The Beatitudes

In this episode ofTaste and See, we dive into Luke’s Beatitudes, focusing on Jesus’ promise:"Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh." Through personal stories of sorrow, friendship, and reunion, we explore how our weeping on earth points us toward the joy of heaven. Christ is near to the brokenhearted, and in the Eucharist, He fulfills every hunger, every longing.

💡Key Takeaways:

  • Weeping on earth is not the end—heaven is the promise of joy.
  • Jesus Himself knew hunger, poverty, and sorrow.
  • The Beatitudes are not just promises for the future but invitations to be blessed now.
  • The Eucharist is the fulfillment of the Beatitudes: Christ gives Himself as our food, our joy, and our King.

📖Journal Prompts for Reflection:

  1. When have you experienced sorrow that later turned into joy?
  2. How does knowing Jesus experienced grief change how you approach your own struggles?
  3. Where in your life do you feel poor, hungry, or weeping? How might Christ be present in those moments?
  4. What does “poverty of spirit” mean to you? How can you embrace it in your daily life?
  5. How does the Eucharist satisfy your deepest longings?

🙏Prayer for the Week:
"Lord, in my poverty, hunger, and sorrow, remind me that I am not alone. You have walked this path before me, and You promise me Your kingdom. Help me to trust in Your presence, even when I weep. Let me hunger for You above all things. Amen."
