!Matt 5:1-12
 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.
At the first step in blessedness is set forth, as was behoven, the kingdom of heaven, the realisation of the perfect and highest wisdom of the reasonable soul. Thus is it said Blessed are the poor in spirit, for their's is the kingdom of heaven, as though it were said The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Then unto the meek is given an inheritance, as the legacy of a father to dutiful children. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Thirdly, there is comfort for such as mourn, knowing what they have lost, and what encompasseth them. Blessed are they that mourn (now), for they shall be comforted. Fourthly, the hungry and thirsty are promised that they shall be filled, a refreshment for the strugglers for life, and for the weary. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.
