About the Beatitudes

Most commonly associated with the sayings of Jesus at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount, the word "beatitude" is derived from the Latin word 'beatus' (meaning 'blessed'). "[These] Beatitudes of Jesus are at the very heart of Jesus' teachings and show us the way of Christian life as well as the rewards of living that life. They help to sustain hope of those undergoing tribulations by promising great rewards to Jesus' faithful followers. They may also remind us that our ultimate happiness may rise up from what we see as our crosses. In contrast to what the world teaches us, our Lord Jesus teaches us that the path to Heaven is not made up of riches or other comforts, but instead in a spirit of poverty, self-sacrifice, and meekness." Clearly, the Beatitudes are instrumental in helping us make good life choices in keeping with our ultimate goal of partaking in eternal life with our blessed Lord Jesus. Faithful Catholics should memorize the Beatitudes and consider them often. Note: For assistance with the beatitudes, consult appropriate, competent Church authorities.

As indicated above, the term "Beatitudes" is usually associated with the sayings of Jesus at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount. However, there are a number of other biblical "beatitudes" (or "blessings"). The following lists (1) Jesus' Beatitudes (traditionally worded, traditional & modern Scripture translations), and (2) Various other Biblical "beatitudes" (or blessings).

"...since it is you, O LORD, who blessed it, it is blessed forever." (1 Chron. 17:27)

The Beatitudes

According to Our Lord, Per Scripture [Traditional Translation (DR)]

 

Mt. 5:3-12

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [Note: According to the DR translation, "poor in spirit" refers to "the humble; and they whose spirit is not set upon riches."]

Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the clean of heart: they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: Be glad and rejoice for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.

Lk. 6:20-23

Blessed are ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

Blessed are ye that hunger now: for you shall be filled. 

Blessed are ye that weep now: for you shall laugh.

Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you and shall reproach you and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

Be glad in that day and rejoice: for behold, your reward is great in heaven, For according to these things did their fathers to the prophets.

Note: Jesus concludes these beatitudes with the following woes: "But woe to you that are rich: for you have your consolation. Woe to you that are filled: for you shall hunger. Woe to you that now laugh: for you shall mourn and weep. Woe to you when men shall bless you: for according to these things did their fathers to the false prophets." (Lk. 6:24-26)

The Beatitudes

According to Our Lord, Per Scripture [Modern Translation (NAB)]

 

Mt. 5:3-12

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

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

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.

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

Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Lk. 6:20-23

Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours.

Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied.

BIG Book of Latin Activities For Catholics

Beginning - Intermediate (Vol. 1)

Click for more information & to purchase

"Suitable For Children Or Adults!" ~ "Perfect For Home Schoolers!"

+ + +

As many faithful Catholics already know, the majestic Latin language – the 'official language' of the Catholic Church – promotes unity, helps safeguard the purity of doctrine, connects us with our Catholic ancestors, allows us to pray in "one voice", and even ties back to the inscription on the Cross which was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. The Latin language is still used today in the precious treasure that is the Traditional Latin ('Tridentine') Mass, in 'everyday speech' (much of English is derived from Latin), in mottos, in specialized fields, and in educational endeavors. It has been shown that the study of Latin brings many benefits. "And, Latin is truly the language of heaven!"

If you enjoy Latin, you may be glad to know that this full-sized (8.5" x 11"), tradition-minded publication features an assortment of activity types related to Latin (including: word searches, crosswords, coloring activities, challenges, fill-ins, spelling bee, quizzes, unscrambles, true/false, multiple choice, matching, cross-offs, circling, word associations, translation exercises, and more...), and treats of various topics (including: common Latin words, Latin language facts, Latin grammar, nouns & verbs, abbreviations, phrases / sayings / mottos, prefixes, cardinal numbers, grammatical gender, inflection, word roots, diacritics / accenting, pronunciation, Latin prayers / hymns, Scripture verses, Catholic phrases, and more...).
