WEEKLY REFLECTION

Happy, but Not as the World is Happy

02-01-2026 | Very Rev. Richard C. Wilson, VF, Pastor

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

The first discourse preached by Jesus makes his listeners worried. On the one hand he speaks to them about happiness as the dream they are all looking to fulfill; on the other hand, he tells them they cannot achieve it using the means the world offers. People think the rich, the powerful and the famous are the happy ones; but Jesus tells them, "Blessed are the poor, those who weep, those who are persecuted. "The true path to happiness is described to us in the Beatitudes.
