My notes: The beatitudes are the way in which Christ invites us to live in Micarious (happiness, blessedness) despite living in this evil world and this created and carnal body

Poor in spiritual their lives don’t promote their happiness independently of God How blessed are those who know their need of God

How do you become mournful? Be around those who are mourning It will cause you to be empathetic but it will also cause your heart to be shaped by vulnerability and not security. By you seeing others ñourning you recognize your limits of generotisty and it will cause you to go to God. It will eliminate materialism Align yourself, associate yourself and connect yourself with those who are mourning (to those who are at the whims of the powerful, injustice, pain, etc)

Information does not incur transformation. Living is what develops transformation

Meekness- still before the Lord, not fretting Even when you see those around you prospering, you wait for the Lord Humble patience especially when provoked by others

Righteous - right living

Let this be the goal of my life. Lord give me a willing spirit to pursue this more than life.

Matthew 5:3-6
