Matthew 5 : 1-12
KJV


1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain:
and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek:
for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst
after righteousness:
for they shall be filled.
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 the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted
for righteousness' sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you,
and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil
against you falsely, for my sake.
1 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great is your reward in heaven:
for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.




Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

Open our hearts to see
what is good in our lives.
May the light in our hearts shine clearly
so that we see, recognize,
and live in accordance with what comes
from eternity and belongs to our true nature,
brought to us through Christ.
Keep us from being blinded and deafened
by experiences that will pass by.
Help us to rise above them even in suffering
and to wait patiently for what is becoming
new and perfect.
Praise to Your name that we too can say,
"The old has passed away; see,
everything has become new!""


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
