Matthew 5:1-3
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.
*       *       *       *       *       *       *        *
I have not witnessed a more pervasive and debilitating disease as depression. It is a wormhole that sucks the life forces out of a human being rendering them breathless and limp.  When Jesus spoke these famous words of the Beatitudes, it is to those in the pit of hopelessness that Jesus speaks the first blessing.  The kingdom of all that is good and right and true surrounds them, lifts them up, sets them down on solid feet.  The blessing of Jesus is a hand extended to a sunken chin gently cupping a face and turning it up.  Up is good. 
*      *       *        *        *       *        *        *
Holy God, bless us with the healing we most need.  Amen.
