What are they? Where are they found? What do they mean? The Beatitudes What are they? Where are they found? What do they mean?

What are the Beatitudes for? Blessed are those… The Beatitudes were told to us by Jesus. They show Christians how to live a blessed and moral life. They are rules to follow.

Commandments and the Beatitudes? Why do we have the Commandments and the Beatitudes? When we follow God's commands we will comfort others and care for them when they weep. In the Beatitudes, Jesus taught his followers how to make the reign of love a reality in our world. The Beatitudes call Christians to the love of God and neighbor because this will enable the Kingdom of God to be present on earth. They talk about the bad side of things because the Kingdom is near and love is soon to reign on earth.

When speaking of the Beatitudes, the Most Reverand J. A When speaking of the Beatitudes, the Most Reverand J.A. Plourde said that even a person who has no faith can discover that man’s happiness on earth demands love, justice and fraternity. By incorporating these values into our lives, we work to bring about God’s kingdom and then happiness of our brothers. We build Christ’s body and a whole new world.

Blessed are those… 1st Beatitude Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. All we have is a total gift from God. We should use our talents, intelligence, possessions, and the like to help others.

Blessed are those… 2nd Beatitude Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Those who mourn know how little they are without God. In their sorrow, they will be comforted. Their sorrow helps them to see others who are worse off and can move them to lend a helping hand to those who suffer.

Blessed are those… 3rd Beatitude Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. The “meek” are gentle people, not self-centered or pushy. They do not gripe when hurting, and they identify with the Lord who suffered wrongs patiently and with forgiveness in his heart.

Blessed are those… 4th Beatitude Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Part of striving to do God’s will is to realize that God teaches that we prove our love for him by taking care of each other, as Mother Therese of Calcutta said, “by doing something beautiful for God.”

Blessed are those… 5th Beatitude Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. As disciples of Jesus, we must forgive others, without strings attached, even our enemies. We must stop holding grudges and genuinely care for others. If we give mercy, God will be sure to be merciful to us as well.

Blessed are those… 6th Beatitude Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God. The pure of heart know what is important – closeness to the Lord who alone can satisfy their inner longings for love and understanding. We should see God in others.

Blessed are those… 7th Beatitude Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God. We are God’s children. We should unite, not divide; we should cooperate, not compete. The Risen Lord says, “Peace be with you.”

Blessed are those… 8th Beatitude Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. We should stand up for what is right, even in the face of rejection. To be willing to stand with him guarantees that he will never abandon us.

Bee Attitudes Remember that some children do not have as much as you do, Bee nice to everyone and make Jesus happy.

Bee kind and friendly and Jesus will be kind to you. Remember that some children are sad when they have to send a special person home to God, Bee kind and friendly and Jesus will be kind to you.

Bee thoughtful and Jesus will smile on your actions. Remember to let others be first in the line-up, even when it is your turn to be first, Bee thoughtful and Jesus will smile on your actions.

Remember that not all children have enough to eat, Bee giving and share your treats with them.

Remember that there will always be a bully on the playground, Bee forgiving and Jesus will smile on you.

Remember that there are children who will not be nice, because no one has ever been nice to them, Bee nice to everyone and Jesus will be happy.

Remember when other children argue with you, they just might need extra attention, Bee a peacemaker and Jesus will bless you abundantly.

The Beatitudes sound simple, be a peacemaker, be merciful and work for justice. Living the Beatitudes will make us stand out, living as Christians in an unChristian world can be difficult. They come early in the Gospel.
