Blessed are those who mourn :: The Jesus Sermon

As we continue our series "The Jesus Sermon", Anna Hammond guides us as we examine the second Beatitude, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted". Through this Beatitude, we are given permission to mourn and come to understand that, though there is much to grieve in the world at large and in our own lives, we will find comfort in God and in our community.

Question for contemplation and conversation:

• When you look at the world, what breaks your heart? What do you see that grieves you, and makes you sad?

• Where do you need to be comforted? Perhaps that's a clue as to what needs to be mourned in your life.
