20 Looking at his disciples, he said:
Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.
23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.
24 But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
25 Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.
Luke 6
The Italy born American film director, Frank Capra was sufficiently frank to confess that he was "inspired" to direct several Hollywood made films encouraging his audiences to look beyond the drudgery of their daily lives to better days during the depression years of the 1930s, and the second world war.
Frank Capra's "It's a wonderful life" dared to introduce an angel into its "plot" to provide the film's "dreamer" (played by James Stewart) motivation to rise above his fears and frustrations. That angel may also appear within our daily thoughts inviting us to remain patient, when implementing into our life all the advice that our inner person provides to resolve our daily dilemmas.
