In today’s gospel Jesus shares The Beatitudes, a teaching that forms the foundation of Christian living. Our Catechism contains a section called, “Our Vocation to Beatitude,” and helps us navigate to the desire for happiness. It says, “This desire is of divine origin: God has placed it in the human heart in order to draw man to the One who alone can fulfill it.” In this section Thomas Aquinas says, “God alone satisfies.” The Beatitudes guide us to our common goal of finding happiness and satisfaction in life.
