Inherit the Earth:

Scripture says that the meek will inherit the earth. Such a promise strikes our ears as rather grandiose, like hyperbole or grand overstatement. It obviously does not mean the earth in which we live; it means the heavenly world. Our reward for meekness involves spiritual realms, blessings that will last forever.

Relationships – Faith:

In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells us that His relationship with His Father is the most intimate and fullest of all realities. Likewise, we need to ask ourselves who we consider to be most important in our lives. Every person and thing we love in our lives must be focused through our love for God.
