THE EIGHT BEATITUDES OF JESUS
“Blessed are the poor in spirit
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven…….
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted……
Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth……..
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied……….
Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy………
Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God………
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God……….
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Gospel of Matthew 5:3-10
Make me an Instrument of Peace…St.Francis Prayer
Where there is hatred……let me sow Love
Where there is Injury…….Pardon
Where there is Discord….Harmony
Where there is Doubt……FAITH
Where there is Despair…..HOPE
Where there is Darkness…LIGHT
Where there is Sadness….JOY
Grant that I may not so much:
Seek to be Consoled….as to CONSOLE.
To be Understood….as to UNDERSTAND.
To be Loved……….as to LOVE.
For it is in Giving that we Receive.
It is in Pardoning that we are Pardoned.
