Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for
they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they
will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and
thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they
will receive mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for
they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for
they will be called the children of God.
Blessed are those who are
persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people revile
you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my
account.
Rejoice and be glad, for your
reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who
were before you.
From Matthew 5:2-19
The Sermon on the Mount, greatest speech in the
history of mankind…only Martin Luther King’s I have a Dream speech can even
come close.
