The Beatitudes and Woes of Jesus Christ by Father Joseph R. Jacobson is another inviting read that connects you closer to our Lord God and Saviour. It is the intention of these twenty-four meditations to help serious disciples, especially those of us who are seeking to be faithful in an environment of affluence and complacency, to come to grips with the Beatitudes and Woes of Jesus just as they stand.
May they expose us without apology to the full force of the discomfort they cause us, to tease to the surface our confusion, doubts and nagging questions about them, to speak these out before the face of the heavenly Father and in our own hearts, to struggle to understand what Jesus really wants of us in the here and now. Most of all, may they help us grow in our desire and resolve to accept the Beatitudes as our job description and ultimately to embrace them as our own personality profile. These meditations are for slow savouring.
