Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the earth.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the earth.
(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 version)
This passage is telling us today that we should be good and that when doing things in this world , that the kingdom of the Lord we be ours ,so we should stand firm even when we are persecuted that we should not fear that heavens will be ours.
Let us pray
Able God,we thank you for this new week that you have giving us and we pray that you give us the grace to do what is required of us ,so that we will inherit the kingdom at last .Amen
