The Beatitudes

And He opened His mouth and taught them, saying, 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 theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for great is your reward in heaven.
