Blessed are you …

Blessed are you

Who think prayerfully of others ... for you possess the mind of Christ.

Blessed are you

Who see the hurts of others ... for you possess the eyes of Christ.

Blessed are you

Who listen to others ... for you possess the ears of Christ.

Blessed are you

Who speak kindly to others ... for you possess the mouth of Christ.

Blessed are you

Who help others to carry their burdens … for you possess the shoulders of Christ.

Blessed are you

Who show love to others ... for you possess the heart of Christ.

Blessed are you

Who reach out to others with compassion … for you possess the hands of Christ.

Blessed are you

Who walk the ‘extra mile’ for others … for you possess the feet of Christ.

Blessed are you

Who persevere in your ministry,

As parents and teachers,

With compassion and love for all people, … for you possess the healing presence of Christ,

And yours is the kingdom of heaven.

Amen.
