Year Of The Poor

From http://nassa.org.ph/2014/11/25/year-of-the-poor-logo-explained/

Then looking at his disciples, Jesus said,

"Fortunate are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours,

Fortunate are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled.

Fortunate are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

Fortunate are you when people hate you, when they reject you and insult you and number you among criminals, because of the SOn fo Man.  Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for a great reward is kept for you in heaven.  Remember, that is how the ancestors of this people treated the prophets.

But alas for you who have wealth, for you have been comforted now.

Alas for you who are full, for you will go hungry.

Alas for you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

Alas for you when people speak well of you, for that is how the ancestors of these people treated the false prophets.

Luke 6:20-26

"Dear God, grant me the grace to help others who are truly in need, even if I think myself need help.  In Jesus' name.  Amen."
