Words from the Gospels of St. Matthew and St. Luke



Rejoice, rejoice and be exceedingly glad,
for great is your reward in heaven.

In thy kingdom, O Lord, remember us.

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who 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 those who are persecuted
for righteousness sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.



from Missa Gaia by Paul Winter
