Alleluia.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Alleluia.
To be poor in spirit is to recognise that everything we have is a gift from God and that without Him we can do nothing.
It is the quiet humility that places complete trust in the Lord instead of in worldly success or personal strength. Hearts that are open, humble, and dependent on God are never empty, for they are filled with His grace.
The kingdom of heaven belongs to those who seek God above all else and allow Him to be the true treasure of their lives.
