Blessed are the Poor – Feb 17 – Homily – Fr Terrance

 

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Feb 17 on how the poor will be blessed by inheriting the Kingdom of God with Christ, but only so long as they are followers of Him. He gives three ways to understand being poor, those actual being born poor, those who give up riches for the sake of the Kingdom, and poverty in spirit who have material things but use them as if they don't have them, relying on Christ for their satisfaction. But it all depends of putting Christ first. Father exhorts us to pray for all to convert whether rich or poor.
