    THE EIGHT BEATITUDES & THEIR MEANINGS

    #1 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
    (Be satisfied with what you have. Share the good things we have with
    others because God wants us to.)

    #2 Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.


    (Comfort those who are suffering. Help others feel better about
    themselves after a loss.)

    #3 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
    (Humility-a true sense of who you are. Get the ego out of the way.)

    #4 Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for
    they will be satisfied.
    ( Do what is fair for everyone. Think WWJD)

    #5 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.


    (We forgive those who are unkind to us. Look for ways to show
    kindness to others.)

    #6 Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.
    (We do what is right just because we know it is the right thing to do.)

    #7 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of


    God.
    (We try to bring God’s peace to the world. We control our behavior
    so people can see Jesus in us.)

    #8 Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of


    righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
    (We are willing to stand up for God’s laws even if we are teased or
    insulted.)
