And when Jesus saw the multitudes, he ascended a hill; and when he was seated, his disciples drew near him:
and he opened his mouth, and taught them, and said:
Blessed are the poor in spirit for the kingdom of heaven is theirs!
Blessed are the mourners: for they shall be comforted!
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth!
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be satiated!
Blessed are the merciful: for on them shall be mercies!
Blessed are the clean in heart: for they shall behold God!
Blessed are the cultivators of peace: for they shall be called sons of God!
Blessed are they that are persecuted on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs!
