Jesus -
You claim blessings for the saints the world least expects to be blessed - the poor in spirit…those who mourn…the meek…those hungry and thirsty for righteousness…the merciful…the pure in heart…the peacemakers…those persecuted for following You.
The reign of heaven belongs to them.
Bless Your saints. Comfort them. Give them the earth. Fill their hunger and thirst. Show them mercy. Open their eyes to see You. Call them Your children.
May Your saints join in these blessings by offering them to one another. May we comfort. May we show mercy. May we nurture. May we open eyes to You.
In the name of the One who teaches us what it means to be blessed, we pray.
Amen.
