I quote:
The LORD keeps faith forever
end quote
The Catechism of the Catholic Church informs us that The Beatitudes:
"are the paradoxical promises that sustain hope in the midst of tribulation."
The apparently absurd wisdom flowing through The Beatitudes is the awareness that as we share our life's gifts with those in need, those blessings are replenished sufficient to continue sharing all that Our Father asks of us when leading us by His hand. Lead, Kindly Light.
Humility is the awareness that The Father provides us with all our needs, and more...
...enabling us to share our excess with those Our Father introduces to us.
Trusting Our Father to provide for all our needs is predictably filled with doubt, evidencing our faith that He will continue to supply us with all that He promises us. Divine Providence guarantees that we will be supplied per The Father's daily counselling entering our innermost thoughts.
The Beatitudes are an introduction to that divinely inspired key opening a door to our lifetime's happiness, filled with hope that day, by day we will receive God's blessings. Surrendering our ambitions to become wealthy, as wealth is usually understood reveals sufficient room for Our Father to fill our life with all that He plans for our well being, thereby enabling us to become His outreach into the lives of those who by perceived chance we encounter on our journey of self discovery.
If you should ask me what are the ways of God, I would tell you that the first is humility, the second is humility, and the third is humility.
Not that there are no other precepts to give, but if humility does not preceed all that we do, our efforts are fruitless. ~ Saint Augustine
