“The Eight Beatitudes”

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Someone prays every day, but always offers pray for others and not him or her.
A person gives up all of his or her free time in order to volunteer.
A family works to ensure that God is part of their daily lives.

Reflection:
Showing humility to others is the best explanation for the first beatitudes that explains the willingness and unselfish of helping other people and God is always on the top of the ladder He is always part of the company of the family

"Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted."
The families and friends of the victims of 9-11 are in despair, but the Lord shall provide for them, whether now or in the future.
A person loses a very close family member. God provides for that person by allowing them to reunite in the hereafter.
A family is torn apart and a child vanishes. The parents never find the child in this life, but the family is reunited in the next world.

Reflection:
A close person who passed away is a painful trial in life but God has his own purpose of why he gives this the tragedy for he may have a purpose to give others the happiness or lessons. He will not allow us not to reunite.

"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
One individual feeds a homeless individual.
Groups of people anonymously leave clothing for a clothes drive.
A person humbles him or herself before God in prayer.

Reflection:
If we have an extra foods, clothing, money and etc. we should share the blessings to people who needed the most, most especially homeless person who mostly need those necessities, help people with disabilities, carry them for their heart will feel the love.

"Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."
The Peace Corps sends out groups to provide for a variety of different causes.

    I agree with this thought because it explains a reasonable and no-prejudice belief for individuals who wants to help the poor people and inviting them to discover their talents and put them to use them to improve their community and their own well-being. Besides, it is also correct to believe that there will be always needy people in this world no matter if we help them or not and sometimes their deprived situation is not either their fault or nor link with the environmental factors. From the moral responsibility that Bible teaches us , the affluent citizen has the duty to support the poor people because as Moses and Jesus stated that “there will always be poor among us" (Engelbrecht,2009 )Thus, while the poverty is inevitable, as children of God, God expects from us to be generous to the poor people and God will bless us in all our…

    God had created the world so that there are two different types of people the fortunate and the less fortunate. This is to show who is merciful and who has no heart. There are two rules that people should follow mercy and justice. Both are distinguished in their act and in their object. For example a person should show mercy to a rich man in some sudden danger or distress, and also doing of mere justice to a poor man in regard of some particular contract. Winthrop explains how a person should show respect and help people in need. He also states that no one should pass up an opportunity to help someone or else that person will be cursed. People are a company that follows Christ, and just because everyone is thousands of miles doesn’t mean everyone is alone but knitted together by love. People should do more service for the Lord and should serve…

    Western Culture, after the Greeks and Romans, was strongly impacted by two currents of thought and values – Christian ethics and, after some interruption, increasing intellectual clarity – the latter reaching from the ancient Greek thinkers to the Muslim universities of Southern Spain, through the scholastic period, Renaissance, and Enlightenment, into our modern, “scientific” world, including Darwin – postulating that, in nature, not Christian love, but the “fittest shall prevail” – and finally to awakening socialism as an echo to early Christian teaching.…

    I believe that the beatitude “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Means to always be humble. This beatitude shows that people who are humble will go to heaven, while those who are not humble may have other plans in store. Humility is truly something that has been overshadowed in today’s world, with everyone boasting of there own accomplishments, and not thanking or recognizing others for the great things that they have done. Yes, being great at something is awesome, but you did not get there all on your own, you have to give credit where it is due, and boasting about that certain thing will only make you seem cocky. This is the first beatitude,…

    The death of a loved one can be the most common form of grief; throughout life most people will experience this type of loss. The loss of a loved one can trigger grief such as depression, anger and fear. The person lost could have been a big influence in the life of the bereaved offering them love and security but now that the person has gone they may feel a sense of insecurity like how will I pay the bill or who’s going to cook tea as the person who has gone may have been the main source of financial income for the family and who would do most of the cooking and household chores, and loneliness having the suffered the loss of a companion or a lifelong friend that you would talk to and see almost every day.…
