Beatitudes

The book of matthew really is remarkable because when Jesus taught the “sermon on the mount” he intended love to become a motivation. This scripture changed my life today. 

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, 
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 
Blessed are they who mourn, 
for they shall be comforted. 
Blessed are the meek, 
for they shall inherit the earth. 
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, 
for they shall be satisfied. 
Blessed are the merciful, 
for they shall obtain mercy. 
Blessed are the pure of heart, 
for they shall see God. 
Blessed are the peacemakers, 
for they shall be called children of God. 
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, 
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Gospel of St. Matthew 5:3-10


favorite description of love is from the movie Captain Corelli’s Mandolin:
When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots are become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of the day. It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. No… don’t blush. I am telling you some truths. For that is just being in love; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away…

I am nothing special of this I am sure. I am just a common man with common thoughts. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, that has always been enough- Nicolas Sparks
