The first thing you will think of. Well Beatitudes are 8 blessings portrayed by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew.
Why do we have Beatitudes?:
We’ve got beatitudes so we learn one life lesson from each beatitude and have a good and better life.
What are the eight Beatitudes?:
1. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

2. “Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.”

3. “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.”

4. “Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.”

5. “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”

6. “Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.”

7. “Blessed are the peacemakers, they will be called children of God.”
_________________________________________________________________
8. “Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
How do Beatitudes relate to our daily lives?:
It kind-of-relates e.g, us (humans) are the peacemakers so we are called the children of God and the priest is the one who heals the blinded ones, who cleans the heart: so they can see God and believe in him, there are a lot of poor and homeless people trying to live and thrive.
Question: Do you now know what Beatitudes are? Yes or no?
Hi Hayun
ReplyDeleteThis was really well written. I have learnt a lot from reading your post. I had not heard of Beautitudes before I read your post. This is a good time for us all to be kind. Are you enjoying working from home.
