Paragraph 3. THE MYSTERIES OF CHRIST’S LIFE
544
The kingdom belongs to the poor and lowly, which means those who have accepted
it with humble hearts. Jesus is sent to “preach good news to the
poor”;253 he declares them blessed, for “theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.”254 To them – the “little ones” the Father
is pleased to reveal what remains hidden from the wise and the
learned.255 Jesus shares the life of the poor, from the cradle to the
cross; he experiences hunger, thirst and privation.256 Jesus identifies
himself with the poor of every kind and makes active love toward them the
condition for entering his kingdom.257
