Jesus took his disciples up the mountain, and gathering them
around him, he taught them, saying:
        Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
        Blessed are the meek.
        Blessed are they that mourn.
        Blessed are the merciful.
        Blessed are they who thirst justice.
        Blessed are you when persecuted.
        Blessed are you when you suffer.
        Be glad and rejoice for your reward is great in heaven...
