Read the Beatitudes. Memorize them. They do not describe the world in which we live. They tell us how to live in this world so as to prepare for one yet to come. Belief in another world gives us the courage to resist and renew this one. And always remember: Jesus preached the Beatitudes. He lived them and died for them. And in rising from the dead, Christ confirmed them.
