I’m really delighted to present to you the sixth Beatitude in this part of our studies of Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:2–12. I pray that each reflection that we have given to this majestic opening of the Sermon on the Mount may have done at least two things to you. First of all, comfort, as you recognize the workmanship of Jesus Christ in your own heart and life, for that was the intent of this “blessed are.” However, you see many imperfections, and let not these imperfections in how you experience to live out these Beatitudes rob you of the comfort Jesus is giving in these words.
