# Beatitudes ## Catechism of the Catholic Church The teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount on the meaning and way to true happiness (cf. _Mt_ 5:1-12 _Lk_ 6:20-23). These teachings reflect the promises made to the chosen people since [[abraham|Abraham]]; they portray the countenance of Christ and describe his charity. Moreover, by shedding light on the actions and attitudes characteristic of the Christian life, they describe the vocation of all the faithful ([[3.1.1.2.p5i|ccc-1716]]). ## Ignatius Catholic Study Bible **Beatitudes:** [[matthew-05#^matthew-05-3|Mt 5:3-12]]; [[luke-06#^luke-06-20|Lk 6:20-26]] ### Sources [[index-of-doctrines|Index of Doctrines]] ## Divine Intimacy Meditations - Are the fruit of the gifts of the Holy Spirit: [[300-blessed-are-the-poor-in-spirit#Meditation 1|300,1]]; - blessed are the poor in spirit: [[300-blessed-are-the-poor-in-spirit#Meditation 1|300,1]], [[300-blessed-are-the-poor-in-spirit#Meditation 2|300,2]]; - blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: [[303-blessed-are-they-that-hunger-and-thirst-after-justice#Meditation 1|303,1]], [[303-blessed-are-they-that-hunger-and-thirst-after-justice#Meditation 2|303,2]]; - blessed are the meek: [[305-blessed-are-the-meek#Meditation 1|305,1]], [[305-blessed-are-the-meek#Meditation 2|305,2]]; - blessed are the merciful: [[307-blessed-are-the-merciful#Meditation 1|307,1]], [[307-blessed-are-the-merciful#Meditation 2|307,2]]; - blessed are they that mourn: [[310-blessed-are-they-that-mourn#Meditation 1|310,1]], [[310-blessed-are-they-that-mourn#Meditation 2|310,2]]; - blessed are the clean of heart: [[312-blessed-are-the-clean-of-heart#Meditation 1|312,1]], [[312-blessed-are-the-clean-of-heart#Meditation 2|312,2]]; - blessed are the peacemakers: [[314-blessed-are-the-peacemakers#Meditation 1|314,1]], [[314-blessed-are-the-peacemakers#Meditation 2|314,2]]. ### Sources - [[300-blessed-are-the-poor-in-spirit|300.
