Blessed are the poor in spirit,
Matthew 5:3-10
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 earth.
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 pure in 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.

Beautiful octet of blessings from the snail garden!
Dear GMC, your reflection today reminds me of what Father Bill, CP in this week’s ICC Bulletin taught us about Saint Catherine of Genoa: “she sees nature and Grace as joined together.” Thank God for the blessing you are to us and the Passionists who teach us so much.
May the blessings of the garden declaring the glory of God bring joy to you both!
Wonderful pictorials of Eight Blessings which I have shared with several others people.
Thank you, Ellen!
