Matthew 5 : 1 - 13


1 And seeing the multitudes,
he went up into a mountain:
and when he was set,
his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth,
and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek:
for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness:
for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful:
for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart:
for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers:
for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you,
and persecute you,
and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely,
for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great is your reward in heaven:
for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth:
but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?
it is thenceforth good for nothing,
but to be cast out,
and to be trodden under foot of men.


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

In praise and thanksgiving we look toward your kingdom
and the reign of Jesus Christ in your kingdom.
We rejoice that you make him Lord not only in heaven
but also on earth, where he will gain the victory in all mankind.
Men will become good and will love one another,
and they will find peace when everything is done according to your will.
For the time must come when, on earth as in heaven,
your will is done everywhere and in everything.
Be with us with your Spirit so that we may stand firm as your children
until the moment comes for us to exult:
Up out of all grief and trouble!
Up from evil and death! Up to you,
our Father in heaven!
Praise to your name today while we are still groaning.
Glory to your kingdom.
Glory to Jesus Christ our Savior,
whom you have given us.



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
