The beatitudes of Jesus Gospel of Matthew

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven … Expresses humility Recognizes that all we have/are is from God To empty ourselves to the realization that we are totally dependent on God We do not hoard, since all is gift All we have is to be put at the service of others

Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted … To mourn = “experience deep grief” To be broken open … We all know and understand loss But do we ‘mourn’ our own sinfulness … when we willingly separate ourselves from God? To do so is an act of humility Mourning our sin leads to repentance, which in turn leads us back to God

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land … Meek ≠ weak Gentle, humble, simple in faith, patient in trial Not self-centered Acknowledges that everything is pure gift Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. Mt 11:29 Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word. Lk 1:38

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness … … for they will be satisfied Jesus isn’t talking about physical hunger and thirst He’s referring to our passion for doing God’s will in our lives To grow in holiness, justice, and truth

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy … Who has never been shown mercy? Compassion, understanding, forgiveness Hate the sin … love the sinner

Blessed are the clean (pure) of heart, for they will see God … “Pure” (Gk.) means ‘clean, blameless, free of guilt’ Not just an external show of piety, but a deep, internal conviction of loving God above all things Ps 51:10, ‘A clean heart create for me, O God; renew within me a steadfast spirit.’

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God The ultimate expression of peace … Jesus laid down his life in order to reconcile us back to the Father When we carry that message to others … we are peacemakers True peace does not exist apart from God

Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness … … for theirs in the kingdom of heaven Being fearless in sharing the faith with others, no matter the consequences Unrighteous behavior is not blessed Being fearless in defending the faith requires great TRUST in God
