We continue our ‘Reading Matthew in Lent‘ series today by reading the first 20 verses of Chapter Five of St Matthew’s Gospel.
‘Reading Matthew in Lent‘ is a series of simple podcasts for the Lenten season offering a daily reading from St Matthew’s Gospel from Ash Wednesday to Easter Monday.
The first half of the chapter focuses on the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes – the blessings recounted by Jesus. We learn that we are to be the salt and light and to bring glory to our Father in heaven.
