Fr. Matthew Linn, SJ

The most difficult Christian doctrine is not the trinity nor the resurrection but the Beatitudes --that we are to be happy when poor, mourning, insulted, persecuted, and suffering injustice. We will explore what Jesus may have meant in the original, lost Aramaic text and the Greek that survives. We will look at how we have lived the reality of each beatitude so the gift of each grows within. Where we are not able to live the beatitudes, we will begin to heal the underlying hurts, so in everything God works for good with those who love him. (Rm 8:28) Fr. Matthew Linn, SJ is a highly respected and world renowned Jesuit priest, Spiritual Director and author. His ministry has focused on integrating physical, emotional and spiritual healing.
