The Beatitudes

Blessed are the poor in spirit:
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are they that moum:
For they shall be comforted
Blessed are the meek:
For they shall inherit the earth
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness:
For they shall be filled
Blessed are the mercyful:
For they shall obtain mercy
Blessed are the pure in heart:
For they shall see God
Blessed are the peace makers:
For they shall be called the children of God
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake:
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are ye
When men shall revile you
And persecute you
And shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
For great is your reward in heaven:
For so persecuted they the prophets which were before you
Amen
