This resource provides an opportunity to reflect on the Beatitudes in the context of our contemporary world.
Pope Francis reminds us that the Beatitudes are the “protocol” by which the Christian life is to be lived: "The Lord will recognize us if ... we recognized him in the poor, in the hungry, in the indigent and the outcast, in those who suffer and are alone ... This is one of the fundamental criteria for evaluating our Christian life, which Jesus calls us to measure up to every day. ... They are simple but concrete things."
