Think of us, Lord, when you come
to your Kingdom.
Blessed are they, who are poor
in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom
of Heaven.
Blessed are they, who suffer,
for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who 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 sons of God.
Blessed are those who are
persecuted for righteousness' sake,
for theirs is the Kindgom of Heaven.
Blessed are you
when men shall revile you,
and persecute you,
and shall say all manner of evil
against you falsely for My sake.
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad,
for great is your reward in Heaven.
(= True Happiness: Matth. 5 / 3-12a)
Glory to the Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit,
but now and ever,
and unto ages of ages. Amen.
