The Way of Beatitude

Mehr zum Buch

What if we approached the world's wrongs with empathy, seeking to understand the pain behind disappointing actions and hurtful words as cries for consolation? What if we chose sorrow over outrage and love over hate? Embracing this perspective aligns with Jesus' teachings in the Beatitudes. Fr. Casey Cole, OFM, host of YouTube's Breaking the Habit, encourages us to confront the anger and division in our world and find hope through Jesus' message. He emphasizes that love is the key to evangelization and transformation, asserting that true change comes from love, not conflict. In The Way of Beatitude, Cole delves into the meaning of Jesus' words from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:3-12) and guides us beyond apathy and despair toward realizing the Kingdom of Heaven in our lives. The Beatitudes present a pathway for radical change, teaching us to surrender to God's mercy, courageously face division, seek justice, and stand in solidarity with the powerless. Cole shares personal stories of striving for blessedness, illustrating how to relinquish power and transcend divisiveness. Each chapter includes reflection questions and practical ideas for embodying the Beatitudes, with a free small-group guide available for download from AveMariaPress.com.
