Blessed are the Poor in Spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of God

 Following the Beatitudes is following in the footsteps of Jesus

For The Beatitudes call one to a higher spirituality

Beyond mediocrity, personal comfort, ordinary practice of one's Faith.

1. Blessed are the Poor in Spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of God

We must unlearn our desire to possess

For Only those who are poor in spirit realize that everything comes from God

Being Poor in Spirit begins with  letting go of anger, envy, prejudice and other spiritual cancers that eat at us,

And then letting  go of the desire for material things whose pleasures are always passing away. 

For those who are Poor in Spirit in this world will find themselves rich in the Kingdom of Heaven.
