Blessed are those who endure persecution for the sake of justice, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

         (Mathew 5:1-12)

1 Then, seeing the crowds, he ascended the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples drew near to him,

2 and opening his mouth, he taught them, saying:

3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the earth.

5 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be consoled.

6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be satisfied.

7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

10 Blessed are those who endure persecution for the sake of justice, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are you when they have slandered you, and persecuted you, and spoken all kinds of evil against you, falsely, for my sake:

12 be glad and exult, for your reward in heaven is plentiful. For so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

     (Catholic Bible)

This passage of Bible tries to explain to us the need to hold on to God in all situations .As a child of God you must experience temptation,but your ability to keep on with your faith makes you a winner and God promised us that the reward is heaven at last .

Let us pray

Able God ,we thank you for the all you have been doing for us ,and we pray that you give us the courage and strength to keep on having faith in you ,in other to inherit the kingdom at the last day ,we pray and know you will answer us .Amen.
