505 0  The Beatitudes: Matthew 5:2-12 -- The needy -- 1. Blessed 
       are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of 
       heaven -- 2. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall 
       be comforted -- 3. Blessed are the meek, for they shall 
       inherit the earth -- 4. Blessed are those who hunger and 
       thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied -- 
       The faithful -- 5. Blessed are the merciful, for they 
       shall receive mercy -- 6. Blessed are the pure in heart, 
       for they shall see God -- 7. Blessed are the peacemakers, 
       for they shall be called children of God -- 8. Blessed are
       those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for 
       theirs is the kingdom of heaven -- The final word -- 9. 
       Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you 
       and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my 
       account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in 
       heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were 
       before you. 
520    In this book the Beatitudes, as found in the Gospel of 
       Matthew, are presented as the self-interpretation of 
       Jesus. Each Beatitude finds its primary definition in 
       Jesus himself. For example, he himself defines what it 
       means to be ""poor in spirit."" Jesus is also presented as
       the promise and the blessing to those whom he addresses in
       each case. The Beatitudes are divided into two sets of 
       four, with the ninth serving as the overall conclusion. 
       The first four Beatitudes pertain to The Needy, while the 
       second four pertain to The Faithful. The final Beatitude 
       pertains to religious persecution. The discussion of each 
       Beatitude ends with a practical application. The topics 
       considered with respect to The Needy are Christian 
       responsibility to the poor, the ministry of listening, the
       spirituality of meekness, and the proper care of the 
       earth. With respect to The Faithful, the topics include 
       what mercy looks like in action, purity of heart as 
       sacramentally based, restorative justice as a contemporary
       example of peacemaking, and dramatic instances of 
       nonretaliation on the part of the righteous being 
       persecuted. The book concludes with a meditation on 
       persecution: the persecution and martyrdom of Christians 
       as well as some persecutions undertaken by Christians 
       (especially of the Jews). The hope of universal salvation 
       is raised at the end by attending to Catholic, Evangelical,
       and Eastern Orthodox voices.
