"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 mourn, 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 the kingdom of heaven."
