Lectio Divina: The Beatitudes

In this Lectio Divina, we contemplate the Beatitudes (Blessed be); the twelve sayings of Jesus found at the start of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1-12). These are among the most well-known sayings of Jesus, and yet they are among the least reflected upon. With each reading, you are invited to allow the Spirit to draw you into one of the sayings and to reflect deeply upon its meaning for you and how you should respond. May the seed of today's word sink deeply into the soil of your heart.

Manna for today. I’m grateful.

There is a lot in those verses to contemplate. I think I will daily for the next week. Thank you.

The beatitudes to start the new year🙏🏻
Thank you

Beautifully done. 🙏💕😇

In The Chosen, Jesus says these are where people will find Him: amongst the poor in spirit, the peacemakers, the pure in heart etc. It's a good thought.
Listening to the meditation today, I noticed for the first time that the poor in spirit and the persecuted obtain the same reward: the Kingdom of Heaven. Interesting. 🤔
