Thursday, January 20 : Holy Gospel according to Saint Luke 6,17-23.
And coming down with the apostles, Jesus stood in a plain place: and the company of his disciples and a very great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast, both of Tyre and Sidon,
Who were come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And they that were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.
And all the multitude sought to touch him: for virtue went out from him and healed all.
And he, lifting up his eyes on his disciples, said: Blessed are ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are ye that hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for you shall laugh.
Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you and shall reproach you and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
Be glad in that day and rejoice: for behold, your reward is great in heaven, For according to these things did their fathers to the prophets.
