The Beatitudes

Blessed are you poor. The realm of God is yours.

Blessed are you who hunger today. You shall be satisfied.

Blessed are you who weep today. You shall laugh.

Blessed are the humble. They will inherit the earth.

Blessed are the merciful. They shall find mercy.

Blessed are the peacemakers. They will be ranked as children of God.

You are the salt of the earth. And, if salt becomes tasteless, how is it saltiness to be restored? It is good for nothing.

You are the light of the world. When a lamp is lit, it is not put under a bushel but on the lampstand where it gives light to everyone in the house.

Words from Matthew and Mark.
