ATTITUDES TO BE

   Blessed are the poor in spirit:
      for their's 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.
   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 peacemakers:
      for they shall be called the children of God.
   Blessed are they which are persecuted
      for righteousness' sake:
      for their's is the kingdom of heaven.
   Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you,
      and persecute you,
      and shall say all manner of evil
      against you falsely,
      for my sake.
   Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
      for great is your reward in heaven:
      for so persecuted they the prophets
      which were before you.

Words of Jesus:  Matthew 5:3-12
