The Beatitudes
“Blessed
are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the
meek, for they shall possess the earth. Blessed are they who morn, for they
shall be comforted. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice, for
they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the
peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God. Blessed are they who
suffer persecution for justice’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when men reproach you, and persecute you, and speaking falsely,
say all manner of evil against you, for my sake. Rejoice and exult, because your
reward is great in heaven, for so did they persecute the prophets who were before
you.
