DUNAMIS - Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time (2026) - Reflections (Tamil) by V. Arul Raj

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven! In City of Joy, Dominique Lapierre portrays men and women who have almost nothing, yet cling fiercely to their dignity and to one another. When every false security is stripped away, they learn that life survives only through trust, solidarity, and hope beyond themselves. This is what Jesus calls being “poor in spirit”—not the glorification of poverty, but the freedom that comes when we stop pretending we can save ourselves. And it is precisely there, where self-sufficiency ends, that the Kingdom of God begins. V. Arul Raj
