Transformation Tuesdays

Transformation Tuesdays was inspired by the CD "The Jesus Question" by Matthew Kelly. We recap the Gospel from the prior Sunday and give action steps and resources to transform our lives for that week every Tuesday at 2:10 p.m. at Morris Hall. Deacon Jimmy Ghiglione: Hello, I’m Deacon Jimmy Ghiglione Aaron Emig: And I’m Aaron Emig We are now in the 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time… This week’s Question is… Do you truly want happiness in your life? The Gospel comes from: Matthew 5:1-12 Deacon Jimmy Ghiglione: Today we hear the beginning of the sermon on the mount, the beatitudes. The word beatitude means blessedness or happiness. At first glance when we see some of these beatitudes they seem a little strange. Blessed are the poor. Blessed are those who mourn. Blessed are you when your persecuted. You may think well what does that mean, how can it be blessed to be poor or mourn or to be persecuted. Some scholars might say that the best understanding of this word would be not blessed but Lucky.
