Questions

  • How have you previously interpreted this beatitude? In what ways has the reflection challenged your interpretation?
  • How forgiving a person would you say you are? How many people can you think of, who would agree with your evaluation?
  • In what ways have you experienced God in the past? Would you ever claim to have “seen” God?
