Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God:
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, sisters and brothers. Amen.
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
May your doubts and fears be replaced by a deep abiding trust.
May your struggles make you stronger.
May your children rise up and call you blessed.
