This Sunday's Gospel continues the "Sermon on the Plain," begun last Sunday. In this weekend's text, Jesus elaborates on the consequences of the Beatitudes: he proposes overcoming the law of retaliation, invites us to love, taking God as our model, and exhorts us not to judge. 

The Episcopal Pastoral Commission for Liturgy of the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil (CNBB) has made available a guide for celebrating as a family for the 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time. The material contains the rite for the Sunday celebration of the Word of God to be celebrated at home with family members.

At the Health and Peace Sanctuary, there are three times when masses are broadcast via... Padre Eustáquio Channel (Saturday at 5 pm and Sunday at 10 am and 7 pm) which we can attend, but living the dignity of the priestly people that our baptism conferred upon us. We can not only attend, but celebrate the Lord's Day with our families.

Families are advised to choose a suitable place in their homes to celebrate and pray together. “"Prepare your Bible with the text to be proclaimed, a vase with flowers, a crucifix, an image or icon of Our Lady, and a candle to be lit during the celebration."”, proposes the Commission for the Liturgy.
