True happiness can only be achieved through

• serving others

• forgiveness of sins

The Beatitudes only make sense for

• the Kingdom of Heaven

• for theirs is the kingdom of heaven

• for they will see God

• for they will inherit the land

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness
