Alleluia.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Alleluia.
The Kingdom of Heaven belongs not to those who avoid every hardship, but to those who remain faithful to Christ when following Him comes at a cost.
Jesus reminds us that living the Gospel may sometimes bring misunderstanding, rejection, or sacrifice, yet none of it is wasted in God’s eyes.
Every act of faithfulness offered with love becomes a witness to His truth. Today, let us ask for the courage to stand firm in what is right, trusting that the Lord never abandons those who persevere in His name.
