 A tömeg láttára fölment a hegyre és leült. Tanítványai köréje gyűltek És így tovább.

Homily by St Austin, Bishop (of Hippo.)
!Bk. i. on the Lord's Sermon.
 Blessed are the poor in spirit. If blessedness is to attain unto the highest wisdom, it must needs be that it begin by the being poor in spirit. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, (Ps. ex. 10,) even as, on the other hand, it is written that pride is the beginning of all sin. (Ecclus. x. i 5.) The proud covet and love earthly kingdoms. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. The earth which they shall inherit I believe to be that earth whereof it is written in the cxli. Psalm, Thou art my refuge, and my portion in the land of the living. (6) And the heritage of the meek in this land is an heritage everlastingly sure and fixed, wherein the soul resteth by good will, at home there, as carnal owners rest at home in sure earthly possessions; and on the income from that land they live, as earthly owners from the income of earthly possessions; this is the home and the abiding-place of the Saints. And the meek heirs are they who when they be evil-entreated, suffer it, and are not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. (Rom. xii. 21.)
