As you go about your day remember who paid the price for our sins!

There was a school with a class of students that no teacher had been able to handle. Two or three teachers had been run off from this school in one year by the unruly students. A young man, just out of college, heard about the class and applied to the school.
..
The principal asked the young man, ‘Do you know what you are asking for? No one else has been able to handle these students. You are just asking for a terrible beating’. After a few moments of silent prayer, the young man looked at the principal and said, ‘Sir, with your consent I accept the challenge. Just give me a trial basis.’

Whoever said it first got it right: “Life is too short for drama and
petty things, so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive
quickly.” What a wise and wonderful way to live – but not as easy as
it seems.
..
Personally, I’m all for lingering kisses, raucous laughter, and true
love. I can’t wait. But the idea of forgiving quickly is a tough one.
It certainly belongs on the list; it’s just that it doesn’t come
easily. How I enjoy my righteous indignation. Forgiving can be like
drinking bitter medicine; I have to force myself to swallow … and even
that in small doses.

Matthew 5:1-12 (NRSV)
..
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his
disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying:
..
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will
be filled.
“Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs
is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all
kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your
reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who
were before you.
