In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 5, Jesus delivers the Sermon on the Mount. The final Beatitude reads, "Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me." He then concludes, "Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven." This shows us that if we remain with Jesus, no matter what happens, we will be happy for all eternity. To go off on our own is to be lost forever.
