- Without me, you can do nothing 2. What is challenge that you realized in the gospel? - I realized that we read and prayed about Luke's beatitudes in yesterday's Gospel, which teach us that if we are poor, insulted, etc. while serving God, we are lucky because we have been selected to serve God in this exceptional way. For us now, Jesus' statements are exceptionally hard and tough. Although we may be familiar with these phrases, attempting to live them most of the time may seem impossible. Only with God's help can we live this new way of Jesus as indicated in this verse. -
