The Beatitudes: The path to Sainthood! – by Tony Magliano

Tony Magliano of the Diocese of Lexington writes that the Beatitudes in the Gospel of Matthew provide the way to holiness and joy. He notes that the Church proclaims this Gospel passage on the Solemnity of All Saints on November 1.

Magliano describes the Beatitudes as a guide for living, including being poor in spirit, merciful, and peacemakers. He states that those who are persecuted for living out these teachings can rejoice because of their heavenly reward.
