| A wonderfully written teaching on the Beatitudes by Fr. Alonso de Blas, O.F.M. Includes some historic wood cut bible images of the Beatitudes. Paperback, 24 pages. Price - $3.95 (Includes shipping and handling) These quotes are taken from the last page in this book. "So, we've looked at what a beatitude is, how Matthew presents them, and how Luke does in a slightly but important different way. What makes them important for us is that Jesus uses them as the theological basis for his ministry." "The beatitudes are radical, paradoxical demands that require a total conversion, one that goes beyond the basic obligations of the Law to the limitless invitations of Jesus' way of life." "Rather than have us wait patiently for the kingdom to be realized, the beatitudes urge a spirituality in which we are actively becoming peacemakers, comforters of the sorrowing, etc." I never would have imagined so much interesting information could be communicated in a book with only 24 pages! |
