Rejoice | Beatitudes of life

"Blessed are the poor, for theirs is the kingdom of God."
Rejoice, all those who are excluded, who are on the road, who share what little they have, who have put their trust in the Lord.
Rejoice for the people who, because of their weaknesses, are visited by the Lord and are grateful because they have found the treasure of their lives
...for theirs is the Kingdom of God.

"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
Let the meek rejoice, for those who do not commit acts of violence or exploit others, who forgive those who offend them, who are not made bitter from life and its difficulties are filled with the Holy Spirit.
Rejoice in the humble people who know how to assign the correct value to things, and have discovered what is essential in life
...for they shall inherit the promised land.

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."
Rejoice, all those who are wounded and endure all kinds of suffering.
Rejoice, all those who know how to weep with others and are moved to their core
...for they shall be comforted.

"Blessed are the people who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be satisfied."
Let them rejoice, those who are indignant over the iniquities of this world.
Rejoice, all those who fight for justice so that our society may be a place where no one feels excluded
... for they shall be satisfied.

"Blessed are the merciful, for they will be treated with mercy."
Blessed are those who open their doors, look people in the eye, recognize their hardships, try to understand them and love them.
Let them rejoice, all those who are merciful to those who do not love them in return
...for they will be treated with mercy.

"Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God."
Rejoice, all those who are simple and genuine, those who speak from their hearts to the hearts of others.
Rejoice, all those who act in good faith who always think positively and bring out the best in others. What a pleasure it is to be with them
...for they shall see God.

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons and daughters of God."
Rejoice, all those who build bridges and devote their lives to being agents of reconciliation.
Rejoice, all those who struggle every day to defend peace, which t is not an achievement to be treasured, but rather a treasure to be cherished
...for they shall be called sons and daughters of God.

"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of God."
Rejoice, all those who, despite difficulties and fears, continue to fight for justice.
Rejoice, those who are persecuted because of the Good News and have put their trust in the Lord
...for theirs is the kingdom of God.
