Beatitudes

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Matthew 5:3-12

"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."
 
Harold B. Lee
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Harold B. Lee

"God's measure of our worth in his kingdom will not be the high positions we have held here among men nor in his Church, nor the honors we have won, but rather the lives we have led and the good we have done, according to that 'Constitution for a Perfect Life' revealed in the life of the Son of God.

"May you make the Beatitudes the Constitution for your own lives and thus receive the blessedness promised therein" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Harold B. Lee, p. 205).
 
CONFERENCE: October 2017

Library: Latter-day Light: Chapter 13: George Albert Smith's Creed
