Episode notes
The Sermon on the Mount is seen as a significant event, with various mountains in history being symbolic of divine encounters. Aquinas identified wealth, pleasure, power, and honor as obstacles to grace, which are countered by the Beatitudes. For instance, being poor in spirit or not addicted to wealth leads to experiencing grace. Similarly, mourning over pleasure addiction or being meek without power aids in grace flow. Being free from the addiction of honor is highlighted in the concept of being blessed when facing dishonor. These Beatitudes pave the way for a pure heart, peacekeeping, and hunger for righteousness, emphasizing single-mindedness and service to others as key attributes of a divine-centered life.
