The Sermon on the Mount is probably the most comprehensive and beautiful teaching of Our Blessed Lord on how to live our lives, it covers chapters 5, 6, and 7 of St. Matthew's Gospel (an abbreviated form is found in St. Luke 6:20-49). The Sermon should be read regularly and used for meditation (Lectio Divina) to see if you are living your life in accord with Our Blessed Lord's instructions, or, more realistically, where you are falling short!
