The
Beatitudes
Blessed are the poor in Spirit:
for their's is the kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for
They shall be comforted.
Blessed are the Meek: for they
Shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger
and thirst after Righteousness:
for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the Merciful: for they
Shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the Pure in heart: for
They shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for
They shall be called the
children of God.
Blessed are They which are
persecuted for Righteousness' sake:
For their's is the kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are Ye, when men shall
revile You, and persecute you,
And shall say all manner of evil
against you falsely, for My sake.
