“Blessed are . . .” Jesus taught the Beatitudes during the Sermon on the Mount, when he
wanted his followers to understand how they are to live. Is there a particular beatitude that
stands out to you as one you desire to better follow? When have you observed someone living out the Beatitudes? What was the effect on that person’s life and the lives of those around that person? Share stories of those who aspire to live their lives by the teachings of Jesus as he taught in the Beatitudes.
