The one who no longer feels self-sufficient. The one who understands that without God, they can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Jesus says: that person\u2026 already has the kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cBlessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not about crying for just anything.<br>It\u2019s that deep pain\u2026 when you realize your mistakes, what you\u2019ve lost, or how broken the world is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus does not ignore that pain.<br>He says: <em>I will comfort you<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cBlessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being meek is not being weak.<br>It\u2019s having power\u2026 but knowing how to control it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not reacting with anger, not trying to impose yourself, not living in constant conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The world says: \u201cthe strongest wins.\u201d<br>Jesus says: \u201cthe one who masters himself wins.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cBlessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s that inner desire for things to be right\u2026<br>to live correctly\u2026 to do what is right even when no one is watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus promises something beautiful: that emptiness\u2026 He will fill it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cBlessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is clear:<br>if you forgive\u2026 if you show compassion\u2026 God will show compassion to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not theory. It\u2019s a way of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cBlessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pure heart is not a perfect one\u2026<br>it\u2019s a sincere heart, without double intentions, without deceit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus says: when you are like this\u2026 you begin to see God in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cBlessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not the ones who create conflict\u2026 not the ones who divide\u2026<br>but those who seek peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who lay down their pride, who reconcile, who do not fuel conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those, Jesus says, reflect God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cBlessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness\u2019 sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doing what is right\u2026 following God\u2026 often brings rejection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Jesus says: don\u2019t worry\u2026 that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re on the wrong path, it means you\u2019re on the right one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you notice\u2026 all the Beatitudes have something in common:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They don\u2019t talk about success, money, fame, or power.<br>They talk about a transformed heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus did not come to teach us how to be important\u2026<br>He came to teach us how to be truly blessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let me leave you with this reflection\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe today you don\u2019t feel \u201cblessed.\u201d<br>Maybe you are going through difficult moments, inner struggles, pain, or confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if in the middle of all that you are seeking God\u2026<br>if you are trying to do what is right\u2026<br>if your heart still wants to change\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, according to Jesus\u2026<br>you are already on the right path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I invite you to join me in this prayer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lord, sometimes I don\u2019t understand Your ways, but today I want to trust what You say.
