Today’s Gospel is a familiar one; it is part of the teaching from the Sermon on the Mount that will continue over the next few weeks. After seeing the crowds, Jesus is filled with love for them, and because of this love he sits down to teach his disciples so that they too can be beacons of light communicating God’s love to the people. He announces to them: “Blessed are the poor in spirit…Blessed are they who mourn…Blessed are the meek.” As I read this, I began to wonder about what Jesus meant by this word “blessed.” Blessed can have a lot of different meanings.  If we say “God bless you,” we are invoking God’s help in a particular way. The word can also be a song of praise to God. For example, when the priest offers the bread and wine at the altar he prays, “Blessed are you, Lord God of all Creation.  But here the term “blessed” is used as a proclamation of divine favor. We also find it used this way in Luke’s Gospel when Elizabeth greets Mary saying, “Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” Elizabeth articulates the blessing of divine favor that Mary has received from God. This proclamation of divine favor is how the term is used in the Beatitudes.
