Matthew 5:1-12


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.
12 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,

Whose might is over all the earth, we thank you for all the love you show us.
We also thank you for everything that seems hard, but which you change
into help and strength. We want to thank you in life and in death,
in joy and in sorrow, for you are the great and mighty God,
who calls us to life again and again, who leads us to fuller life.
You have given us great love in Jesus Christ, our Savior.
He shall always be before our eyes and remain in our hearts.
Through him we can cry out in joy,
"Abba, dear Father!"


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

Amen
