Dot indicates days with reflections.
In Numbers 6.24-26 the LORD gave these words to the Aaronic priests to bless God’s people and to put His name upon them. In Jesus Christ we are all His priests, a “royal priesthood” as Peter says. So as a holy priest to God, speak this blessing over your loved ones, over yourself, over your brothers and sisters.
In Luke chapter IV, Jesus quotes the prophet Isaiah where it says, “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor.” Is Jesus talking about those who are Poor in Spirit, i.e. the ones who are contrite before Him?
@anya.vonderluft - I think that’s a good place to start. But it extends also to those who are poor in this world’s goods. Think of the rich man and Lazarus. The poor are those whose treasures are not here on earth, but in Heaven. Consider Luke’s account of the Beatitudes 2 chapters on in Luke 6.20-26
