Blessed are the poor of heart,
Blessed are the merciful,
For they will be blessed upon the earth.
Blessed are the poor!
Blessed are they who suffer,
Blessed are they who are persecuted,
For they shall be the rulers of the world.
Blessed are the poor!
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst,
For justice and the rights of all,
For they shall eat the meal of the Lord.
Blessed are the poor!
Blessed are they whose hearts are clean,
And blessed are they who keep his word,
For they shall inherit the land.
Blessed are the poor!
Blessed are they who labor for peace,
Blessed are they who suffer in war,
For they shall meet the Prince of Peace.
Amen
