The Beatitudes:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are the meek

for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness

for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful

for they shall obtain mercy

Blessed are the pure of heart,

for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,

for they shall be children of God."

Mathew 5 1-12
