"Blessed Are You: Living the Beatitudes"
By Christopher Ruff M.A., S.T.L.
In Blessed Are You: Living the Beatitudes, Chris Ruff invites individuals and small groups to explore Jesus' paradoxical words with fresh eyes, discovering in them a treasury of beauty, simplicity and joy, and applying them to life.
The Beatitudes, centerpiece of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, turn us upside-down. In a world craving wealth, power and fame, we hear Jesus declare blessed the poor in spirit, meek, merciful, pure in heart – yes even those who mourn and are persecuted.
"Blessed Are You" is:
-Blessed Solanus Casey – Humble doorkeeper, meek and poor in spirit
-St. Gemma Galgani – A short life tinged with blessed mourning
-Blessed Padre Pro – Righteous in the face of persecution
-The Monk and the Murderer – A Death Row inmate encounters mercy through an Oklahoma monk
-Brendan Kelly – Pure in heart, a mystical boy with Down syndrome
-St. Teresa of Calcutta – Peacemaking in war-torn Lebanon
