Beatitudes	Beatitudes Values	Beatitudes For Today
How blessed are the poor in spirit; the kingdom of god is theirs	Putting trust in god not things
Blessed are the gentle; they shall have the earth as their inheritance	Getting involved , helping the downtrodden; working for the equality of people	Blessed are you because you are gentle, you refuse violence and aggressiveness
Blessed are those who mourn; they shall be comforted	Patient suffering and enduring hardships reap their reward	Blessed are you in poverty; you are not shut in the false world of convention, riches, and human security
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for uprightness; they shall have their fill	Humility in all we do; non-violence	Blessed are you because you hunger and thirst for justice; your heart beats in the rhythm of the heart of Jesus
Blessed are the merciful; they shall have mercy shown on them	Mercy and forgiveness	Blessed are you because you are merciful; your heart is attached to misery; you will receive mercy
Blessed are the pure in heart; they shall see god	Loving god with one’s whole heart, whole mind, whole soul	Blessed are you because your heart is pure; you do not accept compromises
Blessed are the peace makers; they shall be recognised as children of god	Peacemaking; loving those who are hard to love	Blessed are you because at all times and at every moment you want to be an instrument of peace; seeking reconciliation above all things
Blessed are those who are persecuted in the course of uprightness; the kingdom of heaven is theirs	Being willing to suffer for the right thing even if abused verbally or physically, accepting the consequences of living a good life	Blessed are you because you have allowed your conscience to develop; you have accepted persecution; you have not been afraid to proclaim the truth
