The Beatitudes for today

richesse
Blessed are you
if money, comfort and possessions are not your unique goal neither your only qualification.
Then the door of your heart will open to all the treasures of humanity that you have to discover and make fructify for the happiness of all. 
   
violence 

Blessed are you
if you oppose violence and the instinct of domination towards the others.
Then the door of your heart will open to the strength of kindness and self-control; you will become in harmony with the Earth. 
   
avec ton prochain 

Blessed are you
if you are not afraid to be stirred by the suffering, the solitude or the poverty that your neighbour has to face.
Then the door of your heart will open to compassion and to a gesture of help; you will be comforted.

 
   
pour la justice

Blessed are you
if the hunger and thirst of justice are still burning in the bottom of your heart and push you to revolt against injustice.
Then the door of your heart will open and you will fight the slaveries imposed to your brothers and sisters; it is there that you will find the bread that will satisfy your hunger.

 
   
la joie de ne pas juger 

Blessed are you
if you resist to the reflex of condemning anybody because of his weaknesses, his mistakes or his faults.
Then the door of your heart will open and you will experience the joy of not judging and of being personally forgiven.

 
   
l'amour est plus grand 

Blessed are you
if your glance on your fellow human is pure of any desire of ownership.
Then the door of your heart will open to the One who's Love is greater than our heart and you will discover the divine that enlightens your life.
 
   
pour la paix 
Blessed are you
if you compromise yourself for peace and if you engage yourself in building it to last long.
Then the door of your heart will open and you will be named of the beautiful name of son of God. 
   
coeur ouvert 

Blessed are you
if you risk your life for justice and verity like Jesus of Nazareth.
Then the door of your heart will open and you will hear in your secret intimate, rising from the infinite, the new hymn of the Kingdom that is coming.
