BEATITUDES AND THE LORD'S PRAYER

Read and ponder upon the portent of the prayer Jesus delivered orally while leading the people who gathered for a sermon by him:

“ Our Father Who Art In Heaven, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven. Forgive Us Our Trespasses As We Forgive Those Who Trespass Against Us. Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread. Lead Us Not Into Temptation And Deliver Us From Evil. For Thine Is The Kingdom, The Power And The Glory Forever And Ever Amen.”

The Beatitudes

"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: 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 merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: 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"
(Matt 5:3-11) KJV
