The Beatitudes

The Beatitudes are a collection of teachings from Jesus found in the Sermon on the Mount in the Bible, specifically in the Gospel of Matthew. They represent a set of blessings that highlight the values of humility, compassion, and righteousness. Each Beatitude begins with "Blessed are..." and emphasizes qualities like being poor in spirit, mourning, being meek, and seeking justice. These teachings express that those who embody these traits will find true happiness and fulfillment, offering a counterintuitive view of success and well-being that prioritizes spiritual and moral virtues over material gains.
